What to pack
Packing for studying abroad in the UK requires careful consideration. Though it might be tempting to bring as much of your belongings with you, we would recommend you limit yourself to two bags. Not only is it difficult to carry more but the National Express coaches from the airports to Ipswich have restrictions on the amount of luggage they allow.
When picking which clothes to bring, pack lots of layers and warm clothes. Weather is very changeable in the UK so it’s good to have a variety of clothing suitable for all weather.
As well as the essentials it's a good idea to pack some personal belongings to make your accommodation feel more familiar.
If you're bringing electrical appliances remember to pack the relevant converters and chargers (the UK uses 230 volts), and check with your accommodation if the appliances are allowed.
If you haven't already provided copies of your certificates and transcripts, bring these with you as they may be needed at your induction.
Remember that you don't need to bring everything with you; you can buy some items locally if needed.
