Cost of Living
The cost of living for students in Derbyshire is amongst the lowest in the UK, and much cheaper than you'd find in cities like London or Manchester. Below you'll find an approximate idea about the costs for a single student.
Expenditure per week in:
Rent (heating, lighting & water) - £55
Food - £25
Travel to University on Unibus - £4 per week
Books & course costs - £5
Telephone - £5
TV/Video rentals - £4
Clothes - £10
Entertainment/going out - £20
Total: £128.00
Don't forget that you'll need to add on your international travel costs. It's also useful to remember that everybody funds their cost of living differently and some people spend more money on one thing than another. For example, if you come from a very warm country, you may need to buy more winter clothes.
