Another post in my university advice series, this one is about university accommodation.
Background: I chose the cheapest halls in my uni. It was self catered and bathroom and kitchen were shared between five of us.
I'd always suggest looking at cheaper accommodation- leaves you more money to spend on alcohol and clothes xD
Jokes aside, living in the cheapest accommodation has meant I didn't have to get a job in term time.
Here are some ideas to decorate your uni room:
- Candles- these are probably going to be banned, so either have some you don't burn or get some LED fake candles.
- Fairy lights will also probably be banned, but check if battery operated LED lights are ok
- Pictures of family and friends
- Posters
- Reuse things eg I used the jar from some dip to hold my makeup brushes, and shoeboxes as drawer dividers.
- On a practical note: a dehumidifier and no wet washing in my room has prevented the nasty black mould from returning
- Drawer liners might be an idea
- Full length mirror: I shelled out for one, and didn't regret it ^^;; does that make me vain?
- Plants! I love my cactus and it was so cheap ^^ Cut flowers are also so lovely every once in a while
- Sometimes function over form is inevitable- I had to keep a pan in my room due to the small kitchen
- another example of form over function: in exam time, all available wall space was covered in revision.
- Try to be organised with your work and not let your whole room be overrun by papers.
- Keep flat surfaces as clear as possible
- bunting (so so cute)
- extra lamps
- rugs
- throw pillows (these annoy me silly but look good)
I hope you enjoyed this post!
