Leaving home

If you are moving away from home don't forget take some personal belongings from home- they will help a new room feel a lot more familiar if you feel homesick. Remember being away from home can take some time to get used to so give yourself a chance to feel settled in your new surroundings. Don’t forget to register with a doctor and dentist.
