Unfortunately due to lack of entries we have had to cancel this competition. Please see full Terms and Conditions below.
New students: you may already be starting your new life as independent adults, or you might at this very moment be packing the last of your things/stuff with a view to moving to halls in the coming days or weeks. Either way, you may soon come to realise that:
a) If you don’t put your clothes away, no one else will;
b) Toast is not as satisfying when consumed as a meal for the fifth day in a row, and nutrients are rather sparse in noodles;
c) Just because your belongings fit into your suitcase or car, it does not mean that they will fit into your new room, which may, in fact, be smaller than either of those spaces.
Starting college or university is an exciting time and we want to see how you make your new accommodation a home-from-home. Necessity is the mother of invention, as the saying goes, and you might have already discovered new and interesting ways to store your things or decorate your room to make it your own. If you can touch all four walls of your new room at once (if the mood so takes you) then you may have to be very creative with how you store your belongings - and we want to see how you've done just that. How have you made your room not only functional (enabling you to actually lie flat in your bed or sit at your desk) but also awesome?
If you are hankering for some actual nutrition but have already spent your student loan on essentials like a Nintendo Switch or more alcohol than is strictly sensible, enter our photo hashtag competition on Twitter and Instagram. The winners will receive Restaurant Choice Card, which will hopefully help to fill your tummy, bring colour back to your cheeks and (hopefully) stop you getting rickets before your second year.
