Before you start on this journey and take with you your most prized possessions, make sure you use the secure My Photo Inventory site to log all your belongings. As My Photo Inventory offers Free Accounts there is no excuse for not creating an inventory of all of your things.

Whether you are living in a dorm or in an apartment, university life lends itself to people coming and going all the time and you want to know that you have a secure list of all of your possessions. If someone wants to borrow some of your DVDs, that’s cool, simply update your description for each DVD they borrow and enter that person’s name into your description. Then in the future when you are looking for the DVD, with a quick search, you will know who has it.

As most university students do not have insurance for their things they should make sure that they protect whatever is theirs as best they can and one of the ways of doing this is keeping an inventory to be able to prove it.

The main thing being that you know what you have when you start the year so that you know if you still have it all when you finish the year.
