Calling all new students! Here are some easy tips for student survival. They are so simple you will wonder why you didn’t think them up on your own! You being the one brainy enough to study for a degree! Before even setting off for university, there are one or two preparations that will significantly enable you to adapt to student life without building a sweat or denting your ego!

According to the article “Students – get money savvy or else!” many students will find responsibility at their doors for the first time and this could have devastating consequences unless you stay on top of the action with a little preparation. If you don’t learn the basics of budgeting, you could be sucked into a world of debt in no time at all.

Before setting off for your first day at the big university learn how too budget your money. While respecting the fact that you have been handling money for some time now, you will need to learn that every time you eat you will have to pay out money and this will mount up. If you can’t cook to save your life, abandon the idea of surviving off Pot Noodles and learn to cook a dish or two (something with pasta and something with eggs and veggies might help a lot!) Check out the places to eat close by where you can save money using your NUS card. I promise you, by the end of the first term, you will be an expert in bargain grocery buying and where and when the student saver nights occur!
