      Cost of Living for Students in Edinburgh / Student Life in Edinburgh

      Some of the major expenses that you can expect when living in student accommodation Edinburgh or the surrounding areas may include:

      Student Accommodation: Edinburgh
      Student accommodation in Edinburgh comes in all shapes, sizes and budgets. This means that you can expect to spend anywhere between £180 to £500 on your accommodation, weekly. This depends on the kind of accommodation you choose for your stay(for example, student halls in Edinburgh mostly cost a lot less than if you were going to be staying at student flats in Edinburgh, etc.) The location of your particular accommodation also plays a major role in deciding what you would end up paying as your rent. For example, the closer you are to the university, the more you end up paying for a particular set of services at your student accommodation Edinburgh. When making a decision, it should also be noted that sometimes, you save more money overall by living close by and saving money on your commute. So, all of this should factor in on your decision as well!

      Transportation
      How often you are going to be travelling and how far you will be travelling are the two big questions that you need to ask when deciding how much you will spend monthly on your commute. For example, if both your uni and work are situated within walking distance, the money you spend on transportation will prove to be a fraction of what people who live far away spend. Whether you choose to take a bus, train, walk or cycle around the city can also factor in on how much you will spend. Some Edinburgh student accommodations offer places to store your bikes and cars for free which can push more students to get their own vehicles. This is why you should look closely into student housing in Edinburgh before making a decision and see how much you will be actually spending making certain choices before you finalise something.

      Food
      On average, students living in student rooms in Edinburgh can expect to spend around £10 per day on their food. Having said that, this amount can go up and down depending on how many times you decide to eat out and how many times you actually cook! Batch cooking with your fellow students can actually save you a lot of money and time. By allotting certain days to certain people, you can rest assured that you will have freshly prepared food without having to labour every day. Finding the right student accommodation in Edinburgh can be vital for this. The right place offers fully equipped communal and/or personal kitchens where you can prepare fresh and healthy meals. What you also get are the right housemates with which you can form a community.
