The list below provides a full overview of all the things you may need. Remember that you don't have to buy everything: carefully look at what you really need. If you are moving into a studio or apartment on your own, you will probably use many of these items. In a student house, however, items in the kitchen, living room and bathroom are often shared. Therefore, in the latter case, you won't need everything from this list. You can read more about this in our article on moving into a student room.
