Student budget

So you have £140 a week to spend on whatever you want (food, beer, books, bikes)? That is a sweet deal my friend. If I were you I'd live of £60 or so a week and then get a tasty bike with the rest.

that is what i like to hear! i may save what i don't have as my future plans are currently masters/straight into Ph. D if i get a first, but that may all change.

mate even if you have £20 a day if you budget you can save to fund bike habbit or whatever else, I spend roughly £50 a week on food and drink out of a £250 a month budget, so the rest is for bikes and booze and contingency is important. first year is awesome

is this in london?

thanks for the replies.
