What's your university budget?

Mine is, after much adjustment, going to be £130/week after accommodation.

After freshers, I am hoping to get it to 100 or below. :smile:

Ain't you lot rich

I'll probably have 20 a week after food and essentials
£30 a week budget for everything from food to alcohol
I live at home so about 1200 a month, which is around 300 a week :frown: broke times man
Where is everyone getting all this money from haha! I had about 25 a week as an undergrad and it was fine tbh- as a masters student doing to have about 20 which will be fun...

Really? :curious:
At first I'm going to try £60 a week in total and go from there, I reckon it'll end up being £40-70.
I'll let you know how it goes. :argh:

Food and other living costs at uni have cost me between £1200-£1400 a year for the past three years.
Whatever I earn if I hopefully get a job transfer - So £30-80 a week maybe.
Probably about £60-70 bar freshers week

I have no idea how my student budget is what is it really! I thought mine was average though but now I'm thankful that I'm getting what I am.

If you're not a fussy eater or care about brand names it's easy as piss.
£30-£60 plus anything I make with a job

Food is quite important to me so I've estimated £60/week for that. Couldn't be doing without my M&S Raspberry Panna Cotta! :colondollar:
