Student costs
1 2 next steps
The money you'll need for beer (and books and stuff).
Rent
The biggie that you can't escape. Student halls might charge an all-in fee that includes rent, electricity, cleaning, and food. Increasingly they are becoming self-catering flats where you buy your own grub and utilities are metered.
Bills
If you're in a student house, you may have meters for electricity and gas, or quarterly bills. Organise a system so that everyone pays their fair share.
Other costs:
- Food;
- Books and equipment;
- Going out - even the hardest working student needs a social life;
- Travel - book fares in advance to get the best deals;
- Insurance;
- Clothes.
Try making a budget to plan your spending.
