Tees, shorts, and jeans should be comfortable enough for most days. Girls can include tops, dresses, and skirts for day-to-day wear. Casual shoes will get you around the campus and city just fine but when you want to hit the beach, flip-flops (known as \u201cthongs\u201d in Australia) will come in handy. Don\u2019t forget to bring swimwear or \u201ctogs\u201d as you will spend a lot of your free time at the beach or pool with your mates. Throw in a jacket and some sweaters for the colder months as well.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Room_Essentials\"><\/span><strong>Room Essentials<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll have to take your own bedding, toiletries, and kitchenware as most<a href=\"https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong> student housing<\/strong> <\/a>provide only a mattress with the bed.
