What I spend in a week as a student at NTU
Published: 25/03/2025
Budgeting as a student doesn't have to be boring - it can help you make the most of your money and life at NTU.
Current student Libby shows us how she plans her weekly spending to stay on top of her budget - take a look on TikTok.
Being able to put together a budget and stick to it is an important skill that will help you for the rest of your life. Here are some of our top tips:
- Download the NTU Budget Worksheet to monitor your outgoings.
- Check your student discounts to see if you can get an item cheaper, and don't get sucked in by unnecessary purchases!
- Book an online or in-person appointment with a Student Finance Adviser for support.
- Visit our managing your money page on StudentHub.
Other ways to make every penny count
