Hi Guys,
I have just got my loan and grant in, and am moving to halls very soon, so what I want to know is what essentials should I invest in?!
Thanks!

You'll find that most things are already there in halls like cuttelry and crockery. So yeh, just food and clothes really and maybe some speakers for your room to listen to music while studying or whatever.
Not in my halls! All we got was a mattress and some shelves/wardrobe/drawers/cupboards.
Dressing gown/some other plan to make what you sleep in suitable to appear in public in for a fire alarm.
Alarm Clock.
Speakers for laptop or a radio, something to give a bit of background noise.
essentials - stock up on daft things like tinned foods, packets of noodles, bottles of dilute juice, etc. just something to keep in the cupboard for when the nice food runs out/the money runs out.
aside from that, everyone elses suggestions seem tip top.
Blimey, I'd forgotten all about those.
I used to miss those...probably because my lectures were at even more ungodly hours :mad:
Went through a phase of going off at about 0130 in the morning....
Partly depends what kind of bathrooms you have too.
In 1st year we had shared kitchens and shared bathrooms, down various corridoors and up/down stairs. Fluffy dressing gown was pretty key for the bathrooms/kitchen in the morning. Now I have an en suite and shared kicthen on corridoor with mates, so I tend to just throw a hoodie on over my PJs for breakfast in the morning and take my Duvet out for a night fire alarm.
It must've gone off 3/4 times last night, for periods of 20mins at a time. Really takes the piss I tell you now!!
but yeah, plenty of cold relief capsules and all that, you'll need it im sure.
and a clothes horse, saved my life. the lowest setting on our tumble dryers was "nuke it", so after 5 minutes in one of them you'd never get your jeans on again. so a clothes horse was my wardrobes saviour.
