If you have a son or daughter moving to University and you’re wondering what you need to buy and pack, then look no further! Our University packing list is your complete guide to all of the packing essentials for the University student of 2023.

It covers everything you'll need, including cooking items, bathroom and bedroom items and a few treat suggestions too! The guide also includes suggestions from our 25,000+ strong Facebook community of midlife mums. You can print off the guide to tick off each item as you buy it and pack it.

Once you've started thinking about the packing, then read on for a copy of our free student cookbook too!

Each meal is easy to make, with simple ingredients, and there's swaps listed for when your teen doesn't quite have the right ingredients to hand. A huge thank you to The Latte Lounge Nutritionist Lisa Swabel for authoring this cookbook for us.
