living expenses in leeds

Hi, I'm wondering how much do you spend per month while studying here? Is it any cheaper than living in other cities? How much do you spend on food/accommodation/books/etc? And is it easy to find a part -time job in Leeds?Any answers would be appreciated!
P.S. info about life in Leeds in general would be appreciated as well.
Hi

There's some information on the cost of living in Leeds on the Leeds University Union website: http://www.leedsuniversityunion.org.uk/helpandadvice/money/costofliving/#accommodation

Obviously some costs will vary depending on whether you're in catered or self catered accommodation, how much you spend on an average night out (and how often you go out!) etc. But in general, the cost of living in Leeds/Yorkshire is lower than the national average


In terms of part time work, this is something that lots of our students do. Joblink (based in LUU) provide support to students looking for part time work: http://www.leedsuniversityunion.org.uk/jobs/search/


I hope that helps!

You can spend as much or as little as you like. I am in 2nd year so in private accommodation rather than halls. I pay £75 a week. I budget myself to £70 a week spending money which I can easily stick to and go out like twice a week, at the same time you could easily spend £150 a week if you wanted to
Books just get from the library I've never bought any (and i use **** loads studying medicine)
I spend like £50 a month on food maybe? But I'm a girl!
I have a part time job that I found in august, I came up a month before uni started and handed out CVs to beat the rush and it worked! If you want a job dont apply in september with everyone else
