Hello,

The things you require in your daily life are the first thing you need to carry on with you. The things like Bags, Bottles, Locks, etc are essentials. Going to any hostel requires you to set up your room there like a new life and thus you need a lot of things. Students generally carry light luggage to the hostel and buy small things as you need them. Some people do bring specifics like Coffee Mug, Spoon, etc for their personal use. I would also suggest you carry a room freshener, if possible. Go with the bare minimum essentials like shoes, bags, watch, dress, bottle, towel, bucket and mug, something like a blanket, etc to make your room livable and then start buying small items like soap, soap holder, LAN wire, notebooks, etc.

Hope It Helps 

Thank You
