Studying away from home is a different experience altogether. As a student, leaving your home and moving to a college hostel needs preparation (not just emotionally). Suffering from homesickness is something that you might go through because of course, home is the best.
As the day comes near, there might be a number of questions that could trouble you "What all should I pack?", "When should I start packing?" and so on.
Take a deep breath and read along to find few tips to make your packing process much easier.
1. Keep in mind that you are going to a 'hostel room'
Hostel rooms are not too big and spacious generally. So, you need to pay close attention to what all are you going to take along. Do not over pack and cause clustering. Additional stuff will cause problems for you. In case if you have to relocate soon, packing and unpacking all that stuff again would cause you unnecessary trouble.
2. Check for the already present essentials and take along the rest
If you do not find the required information online, call up your warden/landlord/landlady to enquire about the already available essentials. You will need a desk lamp or a small trash bin, check whether they are there already or not. Do not buy things like kettle, toaster, and utensils beforehand, as these are the stuff that roommates generally share. Buy them once you are settled in your new room and get the bill split among all.
3. Keep your important documents separate and safe
All your documents like your ID proofs, certificates, resume should be in a separate folder, which should be kept in a place easily locatable. Do not forget to get all your credentials Xeroxed just in case you lose your folder. Keep one set of the Photostatted documents at your home and also keep them scanned in your e-mail for easy access and recovery.
4. Do not plan to shift on your own
Shifting on your own vehicle has higher chances of causing damage to you and your property. If you do not want to land up in the hospital paying bills, avoid shifting on your own vehicle. Get in touch with a Man with a Van Dublin for helping you with your moving.
5. Carry a first aid box
At home, you have everybody at your assistance. However, away from home, you need to be completely self-dependent. If you suffer from any kind of allergies, carry some medicines along with you to not have a bad time. Keep some general (fever, headache, nausea) medicines for use in case of emergency.
Leaving your home is leaving your comfort zone. Be fully prepared while you step into the new life of yours and get ready to manage everything on your own. If you have a lot of packing stuff, you can find cost effective movers like VipVan (Man with a Van Dublin) to help you out.
