I have been staying in a PG in Chennai with one of my friends for the past year. Based on my experience, I want to share things to carry while shifting to PG. Usually, the PG owner provides a cot, one cupboard, and a fan. Apart from these, you have to buy all other personal items like a toothbrush, soap, a bucket, a mug, etc. I have listed everything below for your reference.

What are the Essential Items to Carry While Shifting to PG?

  1. Bathroom Bucket and Mug: First, check if the bucket in the bathroom is clean. If it looks dirty or has stains, it’s better to buy your own bucket and mug. Using unclean ones can cause skin problems like rashes or fungal infections.

  2. Morning Routine Items: You need to buy basic items like a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, and face wash to start your morning routine.

  3. Iron: If you wear ironed clothes daily, you must buy your own iron. Most PGs do not provide this.

  4. Kettle: Many PGs do not provide hot water. You can buy an electric kettle to heat water. It can also be used to boil eggs, or make maggi.

  5. Hanger: In some PGs, there is no space to dry clothes in the sunlight. I use a hanger to dry clothes on the terrace. It saves space and works well.

These are the basic things you need to carry while shifting to a PG.

Before moving to a PG in Mumbai, I made a list of things required in PG and made sure to carry them. Keeping note of things is important and if you forget one of the most important things at any time, you can be in trouble. I would like to share the list of things to pack for PG.

I was excited and nervous at the thought of trading the comfort of my home for a PG. I moved into a PG at the beginning of school. I live in a shared PG room with another friend. Due to space constraints, I had to seriously think of a list of things to carry while shifting to PG. I decided to bring necessities with me and leave unnecessary clutter at home.
