how much have you spent since starting uni ?
How much have you spent since starting uni? This includes everything; food, rent, transport, bills, textbooks, going out. I've managed to spend about £800, although I am getting £150 of that back soon. It seems a lot and its almost heartbreaking to see my bank balance go from the 2000's to the 1000's 
And I haven't even been going out much. Someone in my class said they spent £200 in freshers week, just on going out.

About £18000. 
That sounds like a ridiculous amount. I'm about to enter third year and had a holiday job until last christmas.
If you've paid rent or for a bus pass with the 800 then it's not too bad.

How much have you paid for, for this year so far though? I've paid for 6 weeks rent (£480), water bills for most of the year (part of which my housemates have to give me there money for, nearly £200 between us, but it had to come out of my account first), about £50 on uni equipment and a trip, about £40 on a railcard and a rail journey, the rest is on food and clothes.
I moved in at the beginning of august, so £550 rent, £275 deposit at the beginning of summer, about £80 on trains, about £400 on food and going out. A lot more than you, don't worry. Uni hasn't started back yet though.
Have you budgeted for the year or are you worrying about running out of money? You generally spend more money during freshers, if you're still worrying in a month then try to budget more carefully.
