Is it doable to live off of £300 a month (Outside of London)?

Just as the title says, is it possible to live off of £300 a month after rent is paid? I will be going to a uni outside of London, but I'm really worried that I will struggle financially. I really don't want to ask my parents for money since they were so adamant about me staying home, and I have struggled to get part-time jobs too (despite volunteering at a charity shop and cafe to get experience).

If you budget for it and you're OK with not having a super-active social life, it should be doable.

Once you go to uni, keep trying to find a job. You can even try finding a job at your own uni or your student union, which would be mighty convenient for you!
