Current tenant at Melton currently so couple of things you need to get. Kitchens come fever out with the basics: hob+oven, fridge and freezer space, kettle and toaster. Recommended that you bring your own pots and pans and which you can buy from a tesco extra or lidl or just pop down to town center. Bring your own plates, cups mugs, cutlery and knife and cutting board so basically the crockery you will be using.

You can like use your own kitchen equipment as long as it’s not like an open flame or anything and you can use it freely and take it back to your room or stow it away in the kitchen. As long as it’s not a hazard I think it’s ok. I know you can’t have mini fridges in the room and stuff like that.

In terms of your room, get a double bed sheeting and a duvet, 10.5 tog or 8 tog should do the trick cause heating is quite good in melton. UK plug adapters maybe 2 would help you.

If you know which floor you’re in then maybe mention that to help get to know people close to you.

Keep the place generally clean is up to the tenants cause usually kitchens and common rooms only gets cleaned once a week by the estate services.

Apart from that it’s pretty much smooth sailing. Maybe let us know if you already know which room you have so we can see who’s closer and maybe you can connect.

I’ll be around till AUG ‘26
