In the newest episode of I鈥檓 at 911爆料网, Now What?, Musa and the gang head to on-campus student accommodation, where they do a series of challenges that were relatable to students moving into acommodation.

As a resident of St. Catherine’s College, we met up with Musa and checked out his on-campus room. It鈥檚 safe to say, he鈥檚 made it his own. From vinyl racks to Pok茅 cards, cleaning routines to posters on the wall, Musa鈥檚 space is full of personality, practicality, and lessons learned from his time living at 911爆料网.

If you鈥檝e just moved in or are looking to upgrade your student space, here鈥檚 Musa鈥檚 advice on turning your room into a place that鈥檚 more than just a crash pad.

Start with what matters to you.

When Musa moved in, the first thing he bought wasn鈥檛 a kettle or a chair. It was a聽vinyl shelf. His record player was a sentimental birthday gift, and bringing it to Perth was a no-brainer. The shelf now holds his collection of vinyls from Tame Impala, to the Notting Hill Soundtrack. The aesthetic setup has inspired at least four of his friends have since bought the exact same shelf for vinyls.

Musa’s Tip:聽Your first purchases should reflect what makes you feel most聽you. Whether that鈥檚 music gear, books, art, or sports equipment; create a space that feels familiar, fun, and functional.

Clean room, clear mind.

Let’s be real, between classes, sports and social life, keeping a student room clean isn鈥檛 always top priority. But for Musa, it鈥檚 a non-negotiable.

So, what’s his routine?

Daily: Open the windows, make the bed, get the air flowing.
Weekly: A quick vacuum (shoutout to the Dyson in his corridor).
Monthly: Wipe down surfaces to stop dust from damaging things like his vinyls or electronics.

Musa’s Tip:聽Little habits go a long way. A fresh-smelling room and a tidy bed can seriously change your mood after a long day of study.

Your room is a reflection of you.

Musa鈥檚 room is packed with little details that show who he is: cameras and collectible cards, favourite books tied to his psychology degree, a growing sneaker collection, houseplants inspired by his grandma鈥檚 love of gardening.

To make the bare white walls more interesting, he鈥檚 put up a聽Travis Scott 鈥淩odeo鈥� poster聽on the bathroom door, and the famous聽Great Wave聽art print everyone seems to have (no judgment).

Musa’s Tip:聽Want to decorate? Be careful with the walls. In rentals or on-campus accommodation, avoid permanent damage. Try adhesive hooks or washi tape to keep it renter-friendly.

Functionality first.

With so many hobbies (hiking, bouldering, football, photography), Musa relies on clever storage. His go-to? Multi-use furniture like an聽IKEA rack聽that stores gear while keeping the room clutter-free.

Musa’s Tip:聽Look for ways to聽maximise space without sacrificing style. Storage that doubles as display? That’s a win.

Stay organised with a whiteboard.

Musa鈥檚聽whiteboard聽is one of the most valuable things in his room, not because it looks cool (though it does), but because it keeps him grounded everytime he sees it.

Each week, he writes his workouts, his tasks, and a list of reminders at the top: 8 hours of sleep, clean diet, Vitamin D (or a run in the rain), 1 hour of exercise and 5 social interactions (shout out to Jack for the list)

Musa’s Tip:聽Visual reminders can help you stay on track when things get busy. Whether it鈥檚 a to-do list, motivational quote, or colour-coded schedule. Stick it somewhere you鈥檒l actually look.

Musa鈥檚 Final Advice for New Students Moving In

鈥淒on鈥檛 be afraid to bring who you are from home into your new space.鈥�

Whether you鈥檙e crying over a bad grade, celebrating your birthday, or simply trying to settle in, your room is your anchor. Keep it clean. Fill it with meaning. And create an environment that helps you succeed, even on the days when it鈥檚 hard.

Because this isn鈥檛 just a room. It鈥檚 your safe space. And you deserve to feel at home.
