There are three elements to our university kitchen guide which we think will cover off all you need to know in order to be prepared for all culinary⇥⇥eventualities throughout your university journey. Whether you are in halls of residence which are semi-catered, fully catered or self-catering or⇥⇥whether you are sharing a house for the first time – you will be sure to find something in the lists below that will apply to you.⇥

⇥⇥As we mentioned in the uni checklist post, it is always a good idea to contact your halls of residence or landlord or housemates before you start⇥⇥buying items to make sure you don’t end up with more than one of the same appliance or utensil in the house. As for store cupboard essentials, if it is⇥⇥agreed in your shared accommodation that each student will have his or her own cupboard then all of these will be needed at some point during your uni⇥⇥stay – if in halls then you will need to assess how much cupboard space you will have.⇥
