When costs pile up, so does the pressure on you. All of us have experienced this feeling before to some degree, but when you are living away from home as an independent student, having the sense that your finances are getting seriously stretched can be very stressful. As a means of side-stepping unnecessary difficulties regarding your finance, it is wise to look at your student accommodation to calculate how much money you will be handing over and what your regular costs will be like.
With accommodation in Birmingham, you can be sure to get a good deal with a letting agency UoB
students can rely on such as Unihousing. Choosing a reliable provider for your
student accommodation means you can proceed through your student living
experience managing costs comfortably and making the most of the time in your
student home.
Student Houses
Birmingham student houses with Unihousing are handsomely prepared places to get settled for your time at university. Of course, you can share this student accommodation with a group of buddies, making for time away from the university that is never dull. Unihousing accommodation is also very affordable for students at university. Sharing a house means you can spread the cost of most expenses.
Now that you have added that
into your financial planning it’s time to turn your attention to other things
that needed to be budgeted for. To start with, think about essential items that
you will need every day, such as plates, bowls and cutlery; a trip to Ikea
should be enough for this. Supermarkets also sell homeware items. A plate at
Tesco for example can be bought for as little as £1!
Speaking of supermarkets, food
shopping is one of the biggest areas of budgeting that you are likely to come
across as a student. What might be the best course of action you take here is
to do a little research, perhaps online, and compare prices of different
supermarkets. Have a look at what food can be bought in larger quantities to
save money, maybe avoid branded items and maybe share meal costs with your housemates
if suitable.
Student Studios
Living in a student studio is a different experience than a shared house. As a student renting a studio, there’s a greater sense of independence to be had. For some, this may sound like more of an isolated way to live, but others may prefer the quiet and overall simplicity of being in this kind of accommodation. In many ways though, having a clear and sensible approach to handling costs are still essential.
Choosing a studio from
Unihousing’s Selly Oak accommodation will mean that, for starters, you will
receive your 100Mb broadband included in the price of rent as well as your
utility bills. This is obviously in contrast to renting a student house and
will shape your budgeting considerably. In addition, we sometimes have offers
on our studios for low or no deposit.
When looking at
cost-effectiveness at budgeting, travel expenses need to be considered. Not
only do you need to factor in the cost of getting to and from uni, but you also
need to plan for the cost of travel elsewhere. What makes our student studios
easier on your bank balance is the fact that they are a short distance from
shops, supermarkets, and the university itself, which reduces travelling for
you. As well as all that, there are nearby public transport links to get you to
the City Centre and other places of interest that are both affordable and
efficient.
Another thing to remember is that while budgeting and sorting through costs may seem difficult, you can also make use of the various discounts that are out there to help you make a saving or two. Student Beans is a good place to start in your search for student discounts. There’s Unidays as well, and Save The Student have some good info about how to save money, too. It’s not just student discounts that are worth being aware of though, as some other deals and savings will crop up from time to time in various shops and other places to help make your financial situation just a little bit brighter.
