32 or so weeks, tpyically about 55 quid rent (not in London!), food is really up to you. My advice would be to borrow as much as you can, as you'll never again get such good value for your money. Beer around 2.20 a pint. Gym membership 20 quid a month.

I'd be amazed if you could rent somewhere anywhere near decent for £55 per week, also although the univeristy teaching term may well be 32 weeks the b@stards who rent the accommodation (certainly in halls) force you to sign up for 40 weeks. Then when you go home middle of may you continue paying until end of June :(

£55 rent? No chance. In nottingham about £80 is the norm for a relatively sh1t area.

What local uni - queens or uni of ulster?

£80 to £100 would be a much more realistic estimate

£55 per week is too cheap ..
unless you share a terraced house with 3 others or more ... |

Don't listen to the daft advice that says "borrow as much as you can". That will lead you into oweing tens of thousands of pounds at age 21. Madness.
Get yourself a job, even a rotten one, live on scraps if you have to in the cheapest attic in the country. Better still, live with mum and dad. Get a degree from an extension course (some very top univerties offer this) or the Open Universty (last chance saloon). It will take you a year or two longer but you'll have money in the bank when you qualify for a cheap car (including driving lessons if needs be), employers love a driving licence, and no debt. best of luck. Plenty of time for boozing when you've got cash. |

I rented a bedroom in a newly renovated flat, was one of the best student places to live as their were alot of **holes for about a £60. I paid £65 a week, worked out at £3000 for the year, in first year was in halls cost about £2300 for the year, had kitchen, bedroom with ensuite,
Fee's standard £3000 a year, don't go to Edge Hill tho, was a right dump |

Many more students are attending university whilst still living with their parents, but I can assure you the experience of being at university is about a lot more than the education, and these students miss out hugely. Once again, don't worry about the debt, you won't have to repay until you can comfortably afford to do so, and you will never see such good value for money again. The fees quote above are what I'm familiar with.
You can find a list of accommodation and other budgeting costs here, broken down by university. As you can see 45-60 quid per week is typical for accommodation. I've never heard of anyone having to pay 80 quid, they must have been seriously taken for a ride....possibly by their who's spending the extra 30 quid on beer! |
