Living costs
On top of your rent, bills and landline/internet charges there are your general day to day expenses. All students have varying costs and spend money in different ways, but such things as food and toiletries may cost you an average of £35 per week (£1,820 per year). On top of this there are your mobile phone charges, TV licence, laundry costs and general study expenses (stationery, books, etc).
As all University accommodation is within walking distance, travel expenses should not be a major factor. Any costs incurred should only apply if you decide to visit family and friends in other cities.
It would also be wise to budget for any society or gym memberships you have, as well as setting aside some money for socialising.
