Open Days are a great way for you to get a feel of the University, the city of Newcastle upon Tyne and the course(s) you are interested in.
Do you like to get that weekly coffee treat? Do you pop to the express supermarkets when you don’t have time for a big shop?
All these things can add up to extra expenses, our advice is to look into the benefits offered by loyalty cards for anything you do regularly. Coffee shops have points you can collect to get free drinks; book shops have stamps for discounts. Supermarkets have cards which you can sign up to get lower costs or coupons with.
If you do some research, there will be lists of the best ones online and remember to always ask what discounts are available wherever you go.
On the topic of saving, one big annual cost tends to be your gym membership or streaming service subscriptions. Going to the gym can help de-stress, fitness classes are a great way to meet new people, and music can help you study, however, it costs money!
When signing up for any contractual payments, it is important to consider the best deal.
Of course, make use of student deals, but don’t forget the likes of free-trials, reduced fees for new accounts, or even family plans shared with your housemates.
Watch out for subscription services which auto-renew by putting a reminder in your calendar and be cautious that some fixed-term subscriptions charge a penalty if you try to leave early.
Saving money is all about being savvy with your spending.
Many students don’t realise all the options available to save money so always check where in your annual costs or weekly spends you can save. Unidays always has student discount on thousands of companies, coupons can reduce grocery costs and gym memberships will have deals for students.
