Getting admission into a Nigerian Tertiary Institution can be difficult. We all know that, but after getting the admission, preparing for your new life into school, accommodation and how you adapt to your new environment is sure going to be more complicated than you can ever imagine. That’s why we are bringing out these list of items one might need as a new student in a Nigerian tertiary institution so as to make things easy for you. List of Items Needed in Campus for Newly Admitted Students Note: All fingers are not equal, you can re-sketch these items to suit your status. 1. Documents Passport photos Passport or driving licence NHS number National Insurance number TV Licence CV and references Discount travel cards Bank account details Address book and email contacts list Local map What’s on guide Old textbooks and notes List of phone numbers Support notification form Diary or calendar Doctor and dentist details Other university documents Exam certificates Room insurance 2. Kitchen A lot of the kitchen stuff will depend if you’re going self catering or not. Cutlery Corkscrew Bottle opener Mugs Glasses Wine glasses Shot glasses Kettle Knives, forks and spoons Plates Bowls (for cereal, soup, ice cream, etc) One-person casserole dish Small frying or omelette pan 1 small, 1 large saucepan with lids Egg cup Tin opener Scissors Chopping knife Chopping board – An extra chopping board if you are cutting meat: this way you avoid food poisoning!!! Vegetable peeler Cheese grater – (ho for one that has the grater as a lid so all the cheese goes into a box/compartment neatly and you can leave it in there to store as well ) Bread-knife Wooden spoon Spatula – good for a washing up implement. Potato Masher (only if you are a fan of mash tho!) Easy to follow recipe book Store cupboard ingredients – coffee, tea, milk, sugar, eggs, margarine, cooking oil, salt and pepper – and let’s not forget pasta Coffee whitener – for when you run out of milk Sandwich bags – good for lots of stuff you open and need to contain. e.g. sugar / teabags and things Plastic bowl or box with lid Microwaveable bowl Cling film Tin foil Sieve Tea towels Oven gloves Washing-up stuff – Washing-up liquid / -Dishcloth / Scrubbing brush Tray – For carrying food to your room and to stop you making a mess if you’re not eating at a table Chopsticks 3. Studying Desk lamp (Halogen) BOOK CHAIR – saves a lot of neck strain if you are making notes out of a big book] NOTICE BOARD – for timetables, numbers, etc. Some halls may already provide one. Message board with erasable marker eg. a mini white board or one of those magnetic sand ones that you can wipe DIARY/PLANNERS – to keep track of assignments. Dictionary and thesaurus A pad of lined paper – for making notes/doing drafts etc Ream of printing paper A4 folders Pens, pencils, paper, files, highlighters Scissors Sticky tape Stapler, hole punch Sticky labels Post-it notes Paper clips White Tac – so it doesn’t mark the walls Stamps and envelopes 4. Outdoor Sports gear Bike Raincoat Umbrella Head warmer/cap 5. Healthcare Multivitamins Painkillers Condoms/pill Basic first aid kit – plasters, antiseptic wipes, bandages Paracetamol Some cold/flu remedy in case you are struck down by freshers’ flu Pro-Plus Anti-allergy pills – eg. Piriton A cold/hot pack 6. Bathroom Bath mat Bath and hand towels (+ possibly a flanel) Basket for shower supplies Wash bag Toilet roll Box of tissues Toothbrush and toothpaste Soap – liquid soap is probably better. If you’re sharing bathrooms then it’s easier to transport and wont slip onto the floor etc. Shower gel Shampoo/Conditioner Nail clippers Deodorant Cologne Hair gel Hair spray Hairbrush Comb Razor Shaving cream/gel Lip balm 7. Housekeeping Air Freshener Laundry bag – So your dirty clothes don’t end up on the floor. And for dragging to the laundry or dumping on your parents to wash for you! Clothes horse – Save money on dryers by drying your clothes in your room Coat hangers – you may not get any in wardrobes Dustpan and brush – for cleaning up the odd mess, though most hostels should provide this Duster Kitchen towel Cleaning products Washing powder/liquid/tablets – if the washing powder dispenser isn’t working Door wedge – an open door in freshers week is much more friendly 8. Electrical Alarm clock (maybe 2 in two different locations in your room to make sure lectures are at least attempted, even if you carry on sleeping there!) Calculator – for sorting out finances Computer and/or laptop – saves on queues at deadline time Computer mouse for laptop – easier to use than a trackpad CDR’s (CDRW’s cheaper in long run) – for backing up work USB “pen drive” – carrying projects etc between uni, internet cafe, friends comp, etc. quickly, easily and RELIABLY! Printer – printing could take up to six hours on uni computers Network cable – to access the internet from the socket in your room Mini fridge – for beer and other items you don’t want in the communal fridge Bedside lamp Mobile and charger Answering machine CD player/Hi-fi system – though better (certainly space wise) just to bring speakers and use your computer TV – but license fee will be costly. There will doubtless be a communal TV you can watch. Also worth considering a TV-DVD/-VCR combi or separate VCR/DVD players Camera – to take pictures of room and friends (to send home/put on website … everything else people do with photos) Headphones – so you don’t disturb others when you play music loud. You can get ‘infra-red’ ones that aren’t too expensive and allow you to walk around while still listening to the music. Batteries – rechargeable (save money) Multi plug adaptor/extension lead – to give you more than the normal 2/4 sockets 9. Clothing Dressing gown Slippers T-shirts Jumpers Trousers Underwear Socks Shoes/trainers Flip flops – for wearing in showers / communal wash areas Swimwear Ball gowns/evening wear – for the Freshers’ Ball. Shirt and tie for any smart-casual events 10. Leisure Board games – a couple, will make a good fun free evening (not sure about your phrasing! – its not mine) Pack of card Ball – rugby ball/football for friendly matches/made up games Frisbee – again for the occasional game (rugby style) 11. Style Posters – though theses are often available during freshers week – (you might need things to cover bad decoration) Photos of family and friends Wall hanging – more homely than posters Rugs – to hide the mangy carpet Fairylights/disco ball/police light/lava lamp Cushions/beanbags – for friends to sit down in your room A throw – to make your bed into a sofa for friends to sit on Pot plants Teddy bear/stuffed toys Blankets – for when it gets cold and you want to snuggle up 12. Bedding Sheets Duvet and duvet covers Pillows & pillow cases – did you know the average used pillow is 75% dead flesh? Mattress cover – goes between the mattress and the bottom sheet Hot water bottle Inflatable mattress and pump – for your mates when they visit Sleeping bag – for when friends come to stay/when you go to stay 13. Miscellaneous Drinks – to make new friends with Sweets or biscuits – to distribute to flatmates Extra storage – cardboard or plastic boxes for things which wont fit anywhere else Large suitcase – to put things in when going home for the weekend A spare lightbulb Torch – for power cuts and looking under desks/chairs/beds Pen knife Loose change – for washing / vending machines Earplugs – to cut out noise you don’t want to hear Bookends – probably unnecessary; just use something else (eg pot of pasta, sugar etc) Poster hangers – if you’re not allowed Blu-/White?-Tac on the walls Safety pins Small sewing kit – just in case you need to do a quick fix on a rip or tear (like the ones you get in hotels) Small toolkit Matches Fan Clock 14. Female specific items Hair Ties/clips Make up (eye shadow, mascara, lip stick/-gloss, eyeliner, foundation, etc) Jewelries Moisturizer Baby Oil Nail Varnish Hair removing cream Hair dryer/straighteners Tampons/sanitary towels 14. Male specific items Shaving brush If you have most of these, you won’t spend much while in the hostel. Hope you find this useful and congratulations on your admission. https://promiseschool..com/2018/09/just-got-admission-heres-list-of-some.html 2 Shares
