Packing advice from our international student ambassadors

What kinds of clothes should I pack? Students enrolling at Hartpury College, your kit list is included in your enrolment guide available at www.hartpury.ac.uk/ comingtohartpury. Hartpury University students can access the kit lists on your enrolment hub: www.hartpury.ac.uk/enrolment You’ll experience a range of temperatures throughout the year at Hartpury so plan for cold winter weather as well as sunny summer days. And, of course, bring your waterproofs!

“Bring lots of photos with you. When you arrive, your room is a blank canvas and photos are the best way to make it feel like home without taking up too much room in your suitcase.” Martyna

“Make sure to account for changes in the weather – even in the middle of autumn we get warm weather or cold and rainy days, so be prepared for everything. Prioritise anything you might need that you wouldn’t want to spend a lot of money on buying in the UK, such as footwear and outerwear.” Skai “If you’re coming from summer to winter, or from a warmer country, prepare for a cold winter. It may say seven degrees, but it really feels like two! Don’t worry though, you will acclimatise!” Eliza “Hartpury organises a trip to Ikea during Freshers’ Week where you can buy cookware as well as homeware to make your room more cosy. Ikea also delivers.” Dhruvpal

More tips for a smooth trip

Bring some British currency in case you need to buy anything immediately.

Once you’ve packed everything, weigh your suitcase to ensure it is within your airline’s baggage allowance. If you have to change flights at another airport, depending on your nationality you may need a transit visa, so check in advance what is required. Check which items you are not able to bring into the UK. See www.gov.uk/guidance/ personal-food-plant-and-animal-product- imports Check which items are permitted (and not permitted) in your room in the Residential Handbook which is available at www.hartpury.ac.uk/accommodation
