10 Things I love about September.

So we are well into September, it's almost Fresher's week and I'm loving everything September has to offer, here's my top 10 things that I love about this month...

Richmond University Pre-Fresher's Guide*

It's a mega busy few weeks for us students and many people are wondering what to take to uni, how on earth they are going to pack it all in one car and who their new flat mates will be, but that lull between results day and acutally going to uni can drag, so what can you actually do in that time? Well, Richmond University got in contact with a post with some ideas for exactly that. So I present you all with my first ever guest post on Scrimpy Student!

Are you off to uni in September? Follow our guide to what you can do this summer to help you prepare.

Go Shopping

One of the fun bits of preparing for uni is compiling the shopping list of things you really need to take with you. Of course, what you need to buy depends on where you will be living, which could be halls, self-catering or private accommodation. You’ll need a duvet, pillow, cooking utensils, plates, bowls and cutlery unless you are going to be in halls. And how about that reading list? Don’t assume that you’ll find all those books in the library. You almost certainly won’t, but don’t despair at the cost of buying them all new. Check out student websites: you are bound to be able to buy most of them second-hand.
