Things to bring

Things you’ll need to bring for your room at Mary’s:

Pictures and posters – these will make your room feel much more homely, as the walls can seem a bit bare at first.
White tack, to stick things up (you can’t use blue tack in college rooms).
Bed linen – College DOES NOT provide bedding and so you’ll need your own sheets, pillows and your own nice duvet and cover.
Towels
A bath mat (if you’re lucky enough to end up with an ensuite).
Bedside lamp
Alarm clock – at least try and make your 9ams…
Some mugs and basic cutlery
A clothes hanger/airer – the washing machines do provide free drying, but some people prefer to air dry clothes.
An extension adaptor
Laundry basket
Coat hangers
A doorstop – this is a really great way to make friends when you first move in; just prop your door open and people will stop in and say hi.
Anything else you might want – speakers, cushions, blankets etc. – but please note that the burning of incense and candles in rooms is not allowed (it sets off the fire alarm).
