Managing your finances at university
Preparing for and attending university can cost a considerable amount of money. Thus, managing your finances at university is very important. You can boost your finances in the following ways:
Part-time work:
Part-time work allows students to work flexibly while boosting their finances. Your university will have careers information onsite. Be sure to look around your local area also for part-time work.
Budgeting:
Budgeting will come in handy at university. Remember, your maintenance loan comes in three substantial instalments, so space it across the year, plan monthly and not splurge too often!
