    Tidying up your things

     

    1.       Do your laundry

    Ensure you wash all your clothes, dry them properly, iron them and pack them into a box.

    2.       Clean and polish your shoes, then wash them where necessary.

    3.       Have you sorted out your accommodation?

    If you are looking for a house outside the campus, make sure it’s not in a rowdy area. Do well to consider the following:

    ·          Is the place safe,

    ·         Are there students living nearby,

    ·         Can you find grocery shop within the neighborhood?

    Are all these things important? Yes.

    Do you have to buy everything on this list? Not necessarily, in fact, you may need to add some more items to the list and remove some.

    Well, you do not have to break the bank to do this. All you need do is pick what you need and reduce the quantity to be able to buy most or all the items on the list. Then after you have paid your school fees you can buy the rest of the items.
