Weekly freshers budget LIVING IN LONDON

Hi everyone! I've done a LOT of research into how much I should spend per week in my first year of uni and it seems that everywhere has different answers! I've looked on about 10 different websites and at least 10 Student Room forums for the past few months now and I think I've pretty much finalised my budget but I was wondering what you guys think about it.

So, if you're gonna be a fresher this year, is this more or less than what you had in mind? What would you change? And if you're already a student, how does this compare to what you spend? Is it realistic?

By the way this is for living in LONDON and doesn't include accommodation (halls) because that's covered by my student loan.

- Social £20.00 (I'm not a drinker)
- Food £30.00
- London transport £15.00 (living on campus but need to get in and out of local town)
- Mobile phone £7.50
- Transport home £5.00 (theoretically this will be £30 for train tickets every six weeks or so)
- Laundry £2.50
- Clothes and household £2.50
