8 Things you must have as a fresher

Below is a list of stuff that come to mind right now, and we will update this site as more ideas come to mind. We are  assuming in this post that the student lives in a private flat.

1. Chair and table.

This is at the top of the list since it is the major reason you are attending school. It is not a good idea to read when laying down since you run the risk of falling asleep or developing neck or back discomfort.

2. Rechargeable light.

We are all aware of DELSU’s and other Nigerian higher education institutions’ inadequate power supplies. The feeling of being powerless at night won’t be amusing. Since you would need it for reading as well, it should go together with the first item.

3. Cooking gas/stove

Unless you want to fast or depend on fast food for the whole of your schooling, this is a must have item. we don’t need to go into too much detail.

4. Buckets and storage containers

You may not be able to live in an apartment with a constant/portable water supply, necessitating the need to store water. Buckets are also required for bathing and washing.

5. Pillows and foam

After a long and stressful day, you will need somewhere to rest and get your energy back and get  ready for the next day. Except you are planing to stay up all night, looking tired and not working at 100%, We think a foam and pillow is a must have for every Fresher.
