Postgraduate living costs

I'm also an international student, though my husband is British and I live privately (and in London, so... a little more expensive than Birmingham maybe).

I spend each month, on average, approximately:
£125 on food
£75 on travel
£80 on miscellaneous fun (movies, going out with friends etc.)
£100-150 on bills (though, as I said, I live privately and in many places - like our old flat - some or all bills are included. It just so happens that we chose to live in a place with no bills included - this also includes council tax, which you may not have to pay depending where you live and with whom)
£50-100 on school related expenses (stationary, books etc. though this isn't every month)

That's about it. Honestly, I could cut that down a lot if I wanted to. I have friends that live on much less than I do - particularly those who are single. Many live quite comfortably on their studentships/scholarships.

Hi,
I'll be starting postgrad as an international student in September and I just want to know how much people spend after accommodation. I'm assuming postgrads don't live like poor undergrads, but I may be wrong.

It doesn't matter where you live, I just want a general idea. (I'll be in Birmingham though.)

Thanks

Normally university provide a document with living cost, as they tend to think you live a monk kind of life add 10% or 15% and it will be not far from reality I think.
