Our dedicated Arrival\u2019s and Freshers\u2019<\/a> webpage provides information about what you need to bring and what needs to be done prior to your arrival with us. Please ensure that you look at the \u2018what to bring checklist<\/a>\u2018 for our suggestions on what is required to see you through your first night. If you are thinking of ordering a kitchen, bedroom or bathroom pack through UniKitOut<\/a> then these packs can be delivered to your accommodation reception<\/a> in time for your arrival.
