After a fantastic year in halls, it's nearly time to move out and begin a new chapter.
Moving out can feel overwhelming, but with a bit of planning it doesn't have to be!
Here are some tips to help make the process a little bit easier:
You'll be able to donate your unwanted items at various halls during our Donation Café's in June and July.
Don't bin it, donate it.
Don't leave it all to the night before your checkout date. Book your transport in advance (whether that's a van or a favour from a friend with a big car), and make sure everyone helping you knows the plan.
Give your room a proper clean before you go — and be realistic about how long it'll take. It always takes longer than you think. Hoover, wipe down surfaces, clear out your bathroom bits, and check for any damages.
Check our tried and tested recipe for Fridge Clear-Out Fried Rice. It's healthy, nutritious, and easy to put together with whatever you have in your fridge right now - No.1 empty your fridge recipe.
Be proud of your year in halls and what you've accomplished. Reflect on the memories you've made and stay in touch with the fantastic people you've met! Whatever you've got planned next, we are here to support you.
