The academic year is in full swing and for many new college students approach the first semester to an end. The first exams knocking on the door and it's time to buckle your helmet and get into the action.

Every year starting thousands of new students on their dreams of study at universities. This also means that many leave home, and for the first time to go out and live independently. Although one does his best to prepare, it ends yet always with that one lacks something when you get unpacked and about to start his new life.

Here are 3 things that new students often forget when they leave home.

Kitchen equipment

You've sure got together the most basic things together. Pots and pans. Crockery, cutlery and glassware. But anyway pupils include things in which you suddenly are missing. It is always at the most inconvenient time, that you suddenly need a corkscrew, because you have to have a bottle of wine with his roommate. Or maybe you discover suddenly that one has no cheese slicer.

One can do a great deal for themselves by making a list of all the possible things that you may need when you go out and live alone. Otherwise you stand one day and must have opened a can of tuna, only to discover that you do not own a can opener. Practice then.

Things to study

Even if you've got the book list and has used his hard-earned money on next semester's books, so there is always something that you have overlooked. It often happens that a student requires something they had not even given a thought.

Eg. it happens surprisingly often that new students of the psychology program forget about mathematical subjects, and they face the suddenly without something as basic as a calculator. It is an important tool that will generally get students to good on most courses. Find calculators here and be prepared for everything.

Perhaps you need one license for Microsoft Word, which suddenly makes it enormously difficult to write its duties to the university. It can be obtained relatively easily, but it's just one thing that we often hear that people forget.

Housing subsidies

For once, something that does not cost money. Or at least not directly. But many new students who have just left the nest, often forget to have applied for housing assistance. It is easy 500 kr. As you miss that. As students we most often fall in a dry place, so be sure to have sought it in good time.

Of course there are a few things that you need to have control of, but most often answers may be found on minSU and in your lease. Even if you desperately would be stuck for the 500 kr. So can they at least saved up, or sponsor an extra trip in the city.
