What do I need when living in halls?

You will need to bring with you everything that is needed for independent living, such as:

• Bedding (pillows, duvets and sheets)
• Towels
• Personal items i.e. hairdryer, shaver etc
• Electric kettle
• Crockery
• Pots and pans
• Cutlery
• Toaster
• Tea towels
• Oven gloves
• Personal first aid kit
• Small sewing kit
• If you wish to use an electrical adaptor it must meet British Safety Standards.

Please consider buying kitchen items after you arrive as you may be able to share the cost with your flatmates.

If you wish, you can buy your essential items through a company called Click2Campus. They provide a variety of packs. You can order them before you move in to be delivered to your room for when you arrive. For information on pack contents, prices and other services please visit the Click2Campus website.

Will I need to insure my personal possessions?

If you will be living in Anglia Ruskin managed housing (Anastasia House, Collier Road shared houses, University shared houses, Peter Taylor House, Swinhoe Hall and Student Village), your possessions will be automatically covered up to £5,000 through Endsleigh, our partnership insurer. Please review your cover to make sure that you're aware of what the policy covers and the options available to you for extending your policy. You can view the policy below in Related documents.

If you are in accommodation not managed by Anglia Ruskin (such as CB1, YMCA, Sedley Court and The Forum) you can arrange your own personal possessions insurance.

Can I bring my car with me?

Generally students are not allowed to bring their cars with them due to very limited parking, and the University's car parking policy.

Our Chelmsford campus has limited parking if you have special circumstances - either a medical requirement or if your course involves a placement away from campus. Read more about Chelmsford car parking.

Can I bring my motorcycle/bike?

Yes, but please bear in mind that parking spaces for motorcycles are limited and all motorcycles/bikes are left at the owner's risk.
