How cheap/expensive is it to live in Aberdeen as a student?

If you keep to the 'Student Friendly' pubs & bars during the week you can be no more than £10 for a night out, look out for people on Belmont Street handing out tokens/flyers for free entry before a certain time things & £1 drink tokens. Although those tokens have became less frequent since I was in first year, back then the Priory would give you a whole stack of free/cheap drink tokens, now it's a stack but only one works on a wednesday etc.

Accommodation in Aberdeen isn't cheap. Compared to what my friend at Dundee Uni is paying for a flat I feel completely ripped off. With two of my friends paying almost £500 each a month to live in a two bed flat.

The main stinker in Aberdeen is the First Bus Fares. Apparently Aberdeen has the highest bus fares in Scotland, a fact that doesn't suprise me for one minute.

your friends are being ripped off. I pay £210 a month for a double bedroom in a 3 bed house

It's not at the side of the railway line or anything, is it?

Get a bus pass if you are a regular bus traveler. It was £34 a month last time I checked I think.... It's £2.60 for a student day ticket which isn't that bad really. If you are taking 2 journeys in a day you will be saving money. What's funny is the ****ing bus drivers going on strike again despite the fact they only got a pay rise after another bloody strike just before last Christmas... grrr. I prefer stagecoach anyway.

Please enlighten me, I've been struggling to find somewhere decent to take my mum and dad for dinner. Ta.

I was shocked at how cheap Aberdeen's bus fares were when I arrived! Back home a return costs me £4.80!

Yeh rent is extortionate, though. Not that I have anything to pay rent on yet... *grumbles* Why am I still grumbling six months after starting the house hunt? Aberdeen rental agents, answer me that?!

Where have you been trying? Aberdeen Property Leasing don't advertise except on their website. Neither do Belvoir Leasings. Citylets (the website) tend to advertise the smaller leasing agents, or those leasing agents who are exclusively leasing agents rather than solicitors. ASPC is where you'll find the solicitors or super-posh leasing agents.
