Student Finance Gov – Becoming a student is a daunting prospect anyway but whether you are new or returning the financial worries are always a strain. Here I take a look at a couple of websites that help make the financial burden a little easier. Student Finance Gov
One of the biggest problems when you move out of your parents for the first time is not having any possessions whether you move to a furnished property and only need pots and pans or you move to an unfurnished place and need just about everything. Student Finance Gov
A couple of good starting points are charity shops and eBay, but there is another website which could help you get much of what you need for free. The website is called freecycle and is a site where people can give away things they no longer need rather than throwing them away. Student Finance Gov
Student Finance Gov – It uses yahoo groups and is an excellent community. It helps if you have something to give away yourself as people are then more willing to help you. As well as people offering things you can also post messages asking for items. In the last few months I have been able to get a computer desk and an all in one printer, both in excellent condition using this site.
Another great site is call topcashback. If you haven’t heard of cash back sites before these sites pay you when you shop online. Basically the online stores fund this through their advertising budgets but it works for them because they only pay when they make a sale.
So just to take an example, when you move into your university property you may need insurance. I recently took out insurance and received 42 pounds cash back – only a policy that only cost me approx 100 pounds anyway. Student Finance Gov
