Aberystwyth Student Weekly Spend

Posted on - 7th August 2010 Tweet

Aberystwyth’s Student Union has recently launched a new voting poll their website to help new students with their budgeting. The poll asks current students to vote on their weekly spend not including rent and weekly bills and above are the results.

35.8% say they spend £41-60
29.9% say £21-40
22.4% £61-80.

Of course this only represents a small proportion of the student population in Aberystwyth but still gives a rough idea of what one might spend a week on food, alcohol and everything else. Your budget during Freshers’ Week may be higher than your average week due to the number of parties and events, excessive drinking and takeaways etc. It’s always better to times your usual weekly budget by about 3 or more to give you a rough idea. Don’t forget you’ll need additional funds to spend on joining societies etc.
