Student money saving tips
Create a budget
"Make a weekly budget including food, transport, going out, etc, and try to stick to it. It’s not easy and you might slip up at the beginning, but in the long run you’ll save lots of money."
Get a part-time job
"I work part-time at the University as a Student Ambassador and that suits my schedule quite well. I can pick and choose my hours and do more during the holidays."
Plan your food and drink
"There are lots of ways to save money through changing your food and drink habits. Making your own packed lunch each day can save huge amounts of money. I would also recommend taking your own coffee and tea bags to the library– there’s a hot water dispenser so you can make your own hot drinks."
