Checklist for International Students

I have created a checklist which offers suggestions and ideas for moving into a new apartment for studies. It's important to note that the items listed are not mandatory to purchase; rather they serve as recommendations to enhance your experience. Feel free to select the items that suit your needs and preferences. Remember to check whether your accommodation will supply some items. Additionally, if you're traveling to the UK, it might be advantageous to consider purchasing these items locally instead of bringing them from abroad. By doing so, you can avoid potential extra charges for luggage fees at the airport.
