I remember during my first year of University, getting ready and going to my first week of classes was really exciting, but it can be confusing without some guidance.

One of the hurdles I encountered just before day one was not really knowing what to bring.

So here was MY university packing list: (feel free to use this list as inspiration)

• Laptop, laptop case and laptop charger
• Mobile phone and phone charger
• Earphones (one wireless for my phone and one wired for my laptop) and earphone charger
• Journal – for recording tasks and action items
• Notepad – for taking notes during lectures and/or tutorials
• Food and water
• Pencil case
• Calculator
• Wallet (with UNSW ID and Concession Opal Card)
• Mints
• Hand sanitiser (and sometimes a mask)
• Tissues
• Umbrella – just in case
• Lip gloss

I would highly recommend you have a packing list, printed out or written down, that you can go through every morning of or night before a day at Uni. It saves a lot of stress.

And that was my University packing list!
