Happy New Year!
As you all know school resumes for the 2019/2020 Session proper on January 3rd 2020: we are here to inform freshers/returning students on things to get before resuming for school in order to ease stress.
You can often team up with flat /room mates on things like kettles, toasters, pots and pans. Whatever happens, there’s likely to be shops selling all these things when you resume, so if you do forget something vital it shouldn’t be too difficult to replace.
