How much money will you be living off per week at uni?

WELL, accommodation will cost a BOMB in London, like over 6 grand!

I need to pay my phone bill, clothes and travel, which would leave me with (if I am lucky) 25 quid a week for food AND going out, I gotta get saving right now!

My parents are financially supporting me and I'll still only have like £80-90 a week (with the cheaper end accommodation too, no en-suites for me sigh)I think though, it can work out as quite good for your independence if you're in a position like mine, because you're kinda forced to budget and get a job and I think that'll help me. Of course, if your parents can't support you enough (seriously, forking out like £2000 a year is going to be difficult even if they earn a decent amount bc like mine get child benefit for me and they obv wont get that, and my stupid sister costs them a fortune grr) and your uni isn't in a city, then I can see why that would be hard :/ But if you're in a city then you can get a job and have some financial independence from them, which is a good...it's like cruel love!

How much do you spend per week on going out?

I already have a job so I'm not a stranger to budgetting and knowing the value of a quid and all that I think it's good if you have a job before you go, teaches you to be smarter about what you're spending when you know how many hours you had to work to earn £20 or whatever!

I dont drink so that should save me a lot plus I am going to be a nursing student so gunna have strange shift hrs, don't even see myself going out at all

I would only need to pay entry fees tbh

I am a bit like you. I don't drink either, so i'll be only paying entry fees.

I have a question though, I know that you have to pay an entry fee for clubs, but is it for bars and pubs too?
The entry fee for clubs is normally 5pounds right?

I agree that having a job is good before going to uni, but I still know people with jobs that will just blow their money on things they don't need in the first week, then struggle by, complaining about money until the next pay day!

I don't even have a job, my parents used to just give me my child benefit, which was like £15, but I'm really tight with money and the only thing I really spend it on was food and bus fare. Like all my friends who work won't batter an eyelid at spend like £120 on a shopping trip, but with me I'm like "I want that, but I don't need it" which'll probably come in useful, I hardly every buy anything!

£100- £125 a week, which I'll need as I'll be studying in London
