Whether you are moving away or moving into Plymouth, Lawsons is here to help! We are your local shop just across from the university, helping make your student house a home.
It’s a daunting task moving away from your parents and into halls for the first time. There is so much to buy and so little space. Most halls are kitted out with a lot of what you will need so we recommend checking out what you have got before spending your precious student loan!
Space is very limited in halls so make sure you bring only what is needed. Here is a list of essentials that you can find at Lawsons that will help you to prepare for freshers’ week!
