I plan to live as a PhD student near Loughborough university. Here is how my budget is broken down:
- Furnished student accommodation studio including electricity, gas, and internet bills: 500 £
- Food (with once a day meal in an inexpensive restaurant): 425 £
- Personal care and some traditional medication: 35 £
- Books and printing (books would not be bought every month): 50 £
- Miscellaneous (phone charge, laundry, ironing, etc): 50 £
- Gym: 30 £
Total: 1090 £
I would appreciate any opinions or suggestions about such budget.
