Going to university is a complete change for most people, and it is for many the first time living without parents. This means that there are lots of new things to consider that you may not have thought about before.
Accommodation
Before you go, you will need to arrange your accommodation – you can do this through the university, or you can arrange accommodation through a company like this student lets Exeter based accommodation www.exeteruniversityaccommodation.co.uk/student-flats-exeter/ It is a good idea to have a look at all the options and see what suits you practically, and what is within your budget.
Budgeting and Finances
Speaking of budgeting, this is something else to think about! Managing your own money is an essential life skill, and it is also something that you should plan for early on. Make sure that you are aware of how much you will have to live on and apply for your student loan. You can then work out what you can afford to spend on living costs, like food and of course nights out!
Healthy Eating
Your health is also important and making sure that you are eating good healthy foods is a big part of being in good health. You should learn some recipes before you go that are easy and cheap to make so that you can ensure you eat well whilst you are there as living off takeaways is both expensive and unhealthy long term!
