Ideas for a student survival box!

Pain killers. A must for 'freshers flu' AKA a week long hangover

Some great ideas that I hadn't thought of, thanks. Any more?

Loads of good ideas for pans, food etc... But all of these lead to washing up,so a big bottle of washing up liquid!

Oh, and dishcloths, tea towels, kitchen roll (known as posh plates here - saves a plate for just a sandwich etc!).....

Coloured ones! I think I was the only who didn't have blue and white striped / checked ones. At least I knew which one was mine.

• Sharpies - no other brand will do. They're waterproof and reliable, write on tins, plastics, folders, everything.
• Marmite - no other brand will do. Get a HUGE 500g jar - toast will be a major staple meal, and marmite makes friends and provides B vitamins.
• A £10 PAYG topup card

It may not be strictly survival - but I added a small photo album to my daughters box for uni. Apparently it helped with the homesickness....

NHS number so they can register with a GP surgery and dentist.

A protective case for the laptop. That thing will get coffee spilt on it, morning toast crumbs in the keyboard, slammed on library desks, nearly thrown out the window...

It's actually pretty obvious what a teenager needs.

It's much, much smaller than a box.

It's an envelope ........

With a photocopy of the front and back of Mum and Dad's credit card inside
