Sarah James is a second year biology student “Money is a big problem”, said Sarah “I can eat quite cheaply at the university, but I spend quite a lot on transport I also spend quite a lot on clothes, as I like to wear things that are in fashion.”
Colin Peters, who is studying engineering, disagree “I don't spend anything on clothes,” he said, “unless you count climbing boots I'm very keen on climbing, and you need special equipment, some of which is very expensive Luckily, my parents gave me money for my birthday in November Not much of my money goes on transport, because I have a bicycle.”
Diana Bell is a first year fashion student “I make on my own clothes This should save me money, but in fact, the materials are very expensive I don't know how I would manage if I didn't sell some of the dresses and hats I make to the other students Everything is expensive,” she said “That includes the rent, food, transport and heating for the flat in winter.”
Jack is a science student in his final year “What I spend my money on? Well, not on clothes, and not a lot on going out in the evening My rent is expensive, and I suppose I spend quite a lot on books.”
