Do you actually save that much?

Commuting students always say "Oh I live at home because I save so much money." but how much do you really save? I mean when you take every thing into account? lets say your going in 5 days a week (going from lets say Reading to Solent) you've got.

A train fair £128 a week
Food lets say £30 a week

That works out as 158.55 per week

In halls you've got?
Rent £113.40 a week
Food ~£20 a week

So for a week that's £133.40 see it quite a lot less there is knack to food shopping that you'd need to learn (or just go to Aldi). The rent includes:

Up to 100Mb WiFi in each study bedroom.

Residence support team available 24/7.

Common rooms with pool and table tennis.

All Utility bills included.

Cleaners in communal areas.
