me watching now: yep, uh huh, note taken me in the shop: i want that, that, that, that, that cashier: that's £800

Watched this even though I graduated 2 years ago lol. The main piece of advice I’d give is don’t buy everything before you go as there will be shops near you or you can order online! I made the mistake of buying basically everything and it was just so unnecessary to do so. Good luck to everyone starting uni soon, it will honestly be the best experience and I wish I could go back ❤️

Please could you do a “best” vs “worst” parts of university? Or something that talks about your experience with society’s? I always look up to your content so thank you Megan 💜

For washing, I’ve read everywhere it’s cheaper to hand wash small stuff and delicates and take a drying rack. It’s for those people who are money conscious because washing can totally rack up to a lot. Where I’m going it’s £3.60 a wash and £1.70 per dry and separating whites and colours and darks is a lot when you add it up. So hand was wherever you can

Loved this video !! Can’t wait for the rest of your uni related videos 💕

couldn't have come at a better time! I'm (hopefully!!) going to uni this September, and starting to get a few things for uni, thank you so much for this!

Just what I needed honestly! PERFECT timing💕 in the midst of uni shopping rn!

buzzing for the uni videos, they’re my favourite🤩

I'm heading off to uni in September so this was super useful! Thank you Megan ❤️❤️

Can’t wait! Hope you’re having a good holiday btw ahah💗💗

I LOVE this trend its so helpful for people going to uni this year :)

i’m going to leeds art this year! this is so helpful thankss!

So excited to watch this even though I literally just ordered everything for uni haha x

I had an ensuite as well and having 2 bins was ideal. I'm glad I didn't get a bath mat as well ! Having a small drying rack is helpful. My halls had the tumble driers broken for a few weeks.

Hey Megan, hope you’re well. Wow that top is GORGEOUS

Love your videos Megan!! x

This is really interesting because a lot of the things you said you didn't use I used so much in both my first and second year of uni. The clothes rack being a big one I used it a bit in first year as our dryers were terrible and in second year our house and every student house we looked at didn't have a dryer so it was an essential.

This is so helpful thank you!!!

Freshers anyone who needs good plastic boxes for moving and ones to go under the bed WILKINSONS will be your BEST friend!!

THANK YOU i’m leaving in 5 weeks and needed this

Hey, I really enjoyed this video and seeing all your opinions now on everything. I thought about the plastic/material boxes was really interesting. One thing I struggled with was having both the old video and you commentary is it wasn't paused as I couldn't always tell what you were saying. Thank you for the video though!

I’m a bit late watching this video, but these are really helpful, I’m going to uni in 2 years and love to plan ahead!

You inspired us to start uploading on KZread ever since your “starting KZread” video a couple of weeks ago! We’ve loved making content so much we’ve managed to upload 4 videos in 9 days - so thank you Megan!! Xx

Inu Minu x yeah I went back to do my postgrad there! Edinburgh is a good city, it’s relatively small so everything is close by, the campus (if ur on main campus) is really easy to navigate and right next to the meadows for walks. There’s loads of good restaurants/bars. The gym at pleasance is really good aswell! The only down side is how much it costs to rent compared to everywhere else in Scotland but if that’s not an issue for u, then it’s really great!

this is such a smart idea omg

I’m applying to uni at the end of the year but I’m honestly ready for sixth form to be over so I’m binging these sorts of videos😂

Hey Megan, what did you do about batteries? Did you buy them before or as and when you needed them? thanks x

Could you maybe one time (if you haven’t already) talk about how you financially live in uni like student loans, accommodation fees, money spent on nights out shopping etc. Sorry I’m just most scared about how I’ll be able to afford it all without being in debt for years

I am watching this as a mum. My son will be going to uni in 2 years ( if he chooses) and we are not a well off family so I plan on doing a bottom drawer ( ask your mum lol) for him and buy bits as I see them in sales etc This was great thanks

If your son gets the full loan amount, make sure to ask what funds are available through the uni. There is a discretionary hardship fund which gives out ~£1000 a year on top of the bursary. It’s not usually advertised though whereas the bursary is usually automatically given to the lowest income households but it is always available, usually on a first come first served basis x

I would recommend that if u do buy stuff, letting him take your stuff even if you need it, it's a good opportunity to buy new for yourself rather than buying new for him to use for like 3 years

Really good video! You always make great content. But just one advice for you regarding this sort of video - try editing the audio, and make the inserted video lower in volume or something when you commenting on it, because I found myself having a bit of a hard time hearing what you were saying about the video while it was playing. I don’t know if it was just me, but still great video ❤️
