For most people who are moving to college, it'll be the first time moving away from the family home, meaning they're starting from scratch when shopping for the essentials when they move out.

Moving to college is an exciting but scary step to take in life. An experience of true adulthood and building independence and making your own decisions, but sometimes you need a helping hand, notably when figuring out what you need to buy that'll make your experience more convenient or just bare essentials.

Keeping in mind that most students will be shopping on a budget, we've gone through all the best bargains for you to start buying your essentials for moving away from home. From bedding and towels to vacuums and mini-fridges, we've gathered all you need and sorted them into a list below.
