We want to help make your experience of living with us as pleasant as possible and we offer the following to help you reduce the amount of luggage you need to bring with you:
Catering packs
Should you require cooking utensils and crockery, you can request a self-catering pack when you apply for housing which will be added to your Student Account for collection when you arrive. In 2012/13 the pack cost a one-off £32 and includes: tea towel, cereal bowl, mug, glass, large plate, saucepan and lid, frying pan, spatula, knife,fork, teaspoon, dessert spoon, wooden spoon, can-opener and sharp knife.
Bedding packs
The University provides a mattress protector that must be used. These are new for every resident and help protect the mattress. You will need to bring with you and then launder your own duvet, sheets, pillows and pillow cases. If you prefer instead, you can request a bedding pack when you apply for housing which will be added to your Student Account for collection when you arrive. In 2012/13, the pack cost a one-off £35 and includes: a flat sheet, duvet and duvet cover, pillow and cover.
Both packs provide new items, not second-hand, and will be yours to take with you at the end of the year.
Whilst we are in the process of confirming the actual cost from September 2013, we do not expect a significant increase to the 2012/13 cost.
You are also welcome to purchase both packs upon your arrival.
