Students

Maybe i need to be more specific. What do students spend a large amount of their money on? Other than pot noodles and cheap drink.

Thank you for your input but i am looking for slightly more legal spending habits, i.e leisure activities etc

[leandrews]

A lot of it goes on rent and food. But it can also be spent on going out to clubs/bars, pub crawls, cinema, clothes, photocopying/reproduction fees, weekend trips, visitig mates at other unis, to name just a few!

Travel?

[stellaqueen]

yea. for me it was travel (also i was learning to drive so driving lessons were a main for me). i lived at home whilst at uni and found that i was also spending a lot on books, clothes (i was a sports student so had to buy the uni specially made tracksuits, tops) also new trainers every few months coz they wore out. going out (a few drinks with mates at the local were i live). Also i bought a computer and a car whilst i was at uni.

when i was a student many years ago, my money was spent on travel,food, clothes, music, shoes by the bucketload!!!, cosmetics, and of course books!!

[miss_me]

my books this year cost near �450!!! v.expensive. Then there's rent, tv licence, council tax, electric and gas bills then there is bus fair to get to uni/work - �3.50 a day. Food shopping, and of course like everyone ales, some of it goes on nights out etc...Just all the things that most people use money for! we're not an alien species! And not all students spend their days drinking and smoking doing nothing...some of us do our work, have jobs and actually want a degree. Uni is like a job - you do what you have to do, and more, and then on a weekened or during the week you go out and relax!! and some of us can even cook and clean as well!

Well this is the question i've been asked by my university fianace adviser. In all honesty i've no idea, I stopped drinking and going out excessively about a month ago so it's not just drink that we spend it on! I suspect my downfall was/is topshop, internet shopping and food (though i'd rather have clothes and alcohol than food)!
