Accommodation:- The location and type of accommodation will affect the cost of accommodation. While shared houses or flats can be more reasonable, student housing in Birmingham costing between £60 and £120 per week, purpose-built student accommodations (PBSA) can run from about £120 to £250 per week. It's important to keep in mind that while some accommodation options might include bills like water, electricity, and internet, others might not.

l  Food:- The cost of food will also depend on a person's habits and preferences. With groceries costing between £40 and £60 per week, students can save money by preparing meals at home rather than dining out. However, there are many possibilities for affordable food options, and many cafés and restaurants provide students discounts.

l  Transportation:- How much you travel and where you reside will affect how much it costs for transportation. A monthly student bus pass costs about £45, thus using the student discounts on public transportation can help students save money. Another excellent choice is to go biking or walking, especially if you live close to your university.
