Am off to uni this sunday and have just figured out the basics of my finance and its tellin me that i have fuck all left over from my loan after adding up accom/tuition fees. I already figured that i would need to get a job of some sort but is it really this savage? I havent looked at other uni fees so i cant really compare (im off London south bank uni btw.) Basically what im asking is how far do/did you make money last at uni and for any tips on the matter. Ta in advance!
Peace x

Get a campus job. Student jobs are always available and generally they're
pretty well paid for a few hours work. I was getting £8 an hour just to put
books back on shelves in the Library every weekend.
Buy cheap tins of tomatoes. KTC - 4 fo £1 at ASDA. You can make practically
any sauce with a tin of tomatoes.
Get your parents to make you batches of food and freeze it. Comes in handy,
but chances are you'll have two shelves in a fridge/freezer you share with other
people.
Buy what you need. Don't buy shit loads of fresh fruit and stuff coz it goes off
rather quickly - buy it as and when you need it.
Don't buy ready meals - you'll have plenty of time off - learn how to cook.
Ready meals tend to go missing if you have dickhead flatmates. No one can
be fucked to steal a butternut squash though.

Oh, and try and buy your weed in weights, if you're going to smoke.
(Get an airtight container too.)
If you're picking up £10 every night you'll soon realise you're getting
ripped off.

cheers lads for proper replies
Will have to look out for a campus job then or sumin then, and yeh good old shout on the tinned tomatoes etc. I would say i can probably cook better than the average student as i was a chalet host in my gap year for 6 months and in the past i have at least slightly learnt the ways that fast food and shit aint cheap and doesnt satisfy for long!
As for the weed ... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm big bags

Get a bar job, it's a piece of piss and very often you get free beer and food thrown in. It's also a good way to meet new people and get to know the area. Also the nature of the job means the hours are pretty flexible and sometimesit's cash in hand
Tip:
Work with the prettiest barmaid and you'll hardly have to pull a pint as everyone makes a beeline for her

Sounds a plan, my dad was preaching the same a few days ago and flexible hours very much appeal to me. Gonna have to update the old cv me thinks!

Private tutoring was my cash cow at university. Also jazzamataz's advice is spot on.

selling weed to students is stupidly easy. wander round with a zoot at night and every other person who comes near will ask for the link
