For international students

If you’re coming from overseas, your requirements will be different and you may not be able to bring as much gear as you’d like. International students often have the advantage of using university storage facilities over the holidays, though, so hoarding when you get here isn’t so much of an issue. Don’t forget the following.

  • Electrical socket adaptors: If you’ve brought electrical goods, you want them for more than ornamental purposes.
  • Visas, copy of birth certificate, passport, other photo ID, travel documents and foreign exchange.
  • International phone card: For cheap calls home. Local post offices should be able to provide phonecards, or sign up to an online international phonecard, like www.ekit.com.
  • Maps & guidebooks: So you get a handle on the place before you step out the door.
