It's my opinion that the most important thing about packing for university is to keep it minimal! Nothing is worse than a hall room full of clutter that you don't end up using. Remember, Bristol is home to several thriving shopping centres - most of what you want you can buy here!
Notwithstanding my minimalist inclination, here are a few things that are a good idea to bring:
Bedroom Essentials
Bedding (2 sets)
Clothes hangers
Photos or trinkets to personalise your room (not too many)
Laundry basket and washing powder
Adaptors and extension cords (I can't recommend this enough)
Hot water bottle and desk fan
Device chargers
Speakers (invest in good speakers! they will be used all the time)
Plants/cacti (in moderation)
Documents
Passport
Driving licence or another form of ID (you would be amazed by the number of people who forget)
Insurance documents (if required)
Medical history documents (if required)
Debit/credit card
Residency card (if required)
Bathroom
Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Shower gel
Shampoo and conditioner
Hand soap
Hairdryer/straighteners
Towels
Hairbrush
Makeup
Razors and shaving cream
Sanitary products
Contacts/lens solution
Glasses
Bath mat
Studying
Top tip: Bristol gives all students 2TB of OneDrive storage and the MSFT suite! This is so damn useful.
Laptop
Mouse
Monitor (I cannot more strongly recommend buying a monitor, it makes it so much nicer to watch lectures, do large assignments, and watch films with your friends)
Calculator
Pens
Notebook
1 or 2 highlighters... you don't need to highlight everything.
