Uni Essentials

If you're off to university, get yourself equipped for the year ahead with our selection of uni essentials. With our extensive range, university students will be able to establish the optimum environment for doing coursework from our desk, lamp, stationery and laptop options. They will also also be able to fill their dorm rooms with back to uni homeware essentials such as cosy bedding, useful drinkware and storage items. Whether your university student is staying at home and simply needs the odd bits and bobs, or if they're moving out and need uni essentials for the coming years, we are confident you will find exactly what your need from our collection.

How many towels will I need?

Having a collection of soft towels is an essential for your university living. You can pick up matching bath towels, hand towels and face towels from our John Lewis ANYDAY range.

Which kitchen utensils should I bring to uni?

Practical kitchenware and tableware items are a must-have if you're living in non-catered accommodation. Our range of kitchenware includes items such as spatulas, wooden spoons and tin openers, whilst our pots and pans sets will help you cook even the basics.
