If you have anxieties about finances, don&#8217;t worry. My aim is to try and offer some ways to make this seemingly massive task a little more manageable.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start as you mean to go on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Organise yourself early!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Student loans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Preparing yourself before you\u2019ve even started term helps you feel more confident about your spending once you arrive at university. You\u2019ve got lots of other things on your mind &#8211; like trying not to get lost on the way to your lecture or working out how exactly the washing machines work.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many students apply for <\/span><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/apply-online-for-student-finance\">student loans<\/a><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, for tuition fees, living costs, or both. Not all students are eligible for the same amount of loan, or feel they need one. But if you have or are thinking of applying, the loan is an excellent starting point for calculating your funds.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Remember<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: student loans cover one academic year at a time, so you\u2019ll need to <\/span><b>reapply in subsequent years<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> if you want a new loan. Student loans for international students have different application processes to UK student loans. Research your options beforehand. If you\u2019re not applying for a student loan, consider your expected income on a weekly basis, monthly basis or otherwise.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accommodation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Goodricke-band-3.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Goodricke-band-3.jpg?resize=600%2C347&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Choose the right room for you\" class=\"wp-image-9339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Goodricke-band-3.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/Goodricke-band-3.jpg?resize=300%2C174&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Example room layout of Googricke Colleage Band 3 room.

You might create a shortlist of accommodation you\u2019re interested in so you can compare costs. It\u2019s useful to compare your maintenance loan or equivalent with potential accommodation costs.

It\u2019s really difficult to predict living costs before you\u2019ve started university, and much easier to work out how much you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">could<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> spend per week. Creating a budget will help to set you up mentally for money management at university.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Once you\u2019re here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Review your budget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take time to <\/span><b>review your week\u2019s spending<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;in relation to the weekly budget you calculated for yourself. Don\u2019t be alarmed if the first few weeks (even months) look really different &#8211; this is normal! You\u2019ll still be settling in and working things out.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get a job?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lots of students decide to get <\/span><b>jobs <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">during their degree. There are many job opportunities for York\u2019s students, with the University (such as blogging), our student union YUSU (York University Student Union), or external employers. Most employers understand that students have busy schedules so are willing to be flexible with shifts that suit you. Getting a job is great for your CV, but it\u2019s also good to do something different from academic work!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for saving on food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/nisa.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Think about where you\u2019re shopping: supermarkets like Aldi, Lidl and Iceland are great for students on tight budgets. However, if you have dietary requirements, other shops might be a better option.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b>Meal plans<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> will help you make sure you don\u2019t buy things you don\u2019t need, and stick to your budget.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li><b>Canned and frozen goods<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> tend to be cheaper than fresh produce, although prices will vary between supermarkets so be sure to check before you buy! Cans and frozen food can also keep for longer, which will reduce the amount you spend on a weekly basis.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do if things go wrong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t panic!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you struggle with money management at university, don&#8217;t panic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you still feel like money is causing you serious stress, or even if it\u2019s a background anxiety, there are people you can talk to at the University.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get expert advice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>The Student Hub<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is the primary place to go for advice &#8211; not just for financial issues! You can contact the Hub via email, live chat, over the phone, or visit their office on campus. They also have a link to a self-referral form on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/students\/support\/student-hub\/\">their webpage<\/a>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get an emergency loan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are also <\/span><b>emergency and hardship loans<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> available to students. For more information, you can contact <a href=\"https:\/\/yusu.org\/advice-support\/support-a-z\/money\">YUSU<\/a>. The emergency loan applies to situations where student funding has been delayed, and the hardship loan to students in unexpected financial hardship. Hopefully you\u2019ll never need these loans, but they\u2019re here if you need them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good luck!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I hope you\u2019ve found this blog useful!
