Hey, just giving this thread a little bump in the hopes someone will see it and reply
Have you found University Connect yet? It's super useful for finding other people on your course/at your university!

That's actually quite a lot considering i'm going to spend £40 a week. Think of it as a £40 weekly shop and and a £40 per week being saved for nights out.
For me it's £30 for a weekly shop and £10 saved for partying.
I wouldn't think that people would party that much though.

£80 is plenty... but i don't drink or go partying so that's not really an issue for me
i spent £45 on my first shop (stocking up on the essentials and then the food) , and £30 this week so out of my £80 budget i have £50 left
i don't buy coffees/have lunch out , and i don't have travel costs because my parents cover it , so i'd say you're fine unless you're a huge party person...
i also have a job which gives me £75 a week on top of my £80 and a tutoring job which is only an hour a week but an extra £30/£40 depending on who i'm tutoring
so yeah , if you're that worried , get a job to subsidise your partying
