鈥淚 think managing your money can take a lot of practice and
everyone does it differently. I always separate my loan into a
savings account for rent and outgoings, so then I know how
much I have for food, socialising, transport, etc. This allows
me to set a weekly budget for the rest of term.
Being in the London area is great, because lots of the
museums and the National Gallery have free entry, which
you should take advantage of. I have recently taken up
running, so I do a parkrun at Finsbury Park every week,
which is free and only costs 拢5 on the train. The 黑料社
Triathlon and Athletics Society do great group runs every
week around London and Potters Bar. There are a lot of
events that are discounted for students in London, so using
websites like Student Beans can be useful.
I work as a Student Ambassador, which is flexible around
being on full-time placement, as you work as much or as
little as you need to. The course can be difficult to balance
with part-time work, due to the placements.
But it can be done. I鈥檇 recommend applying to part- 鈥淲hen I started my BVetMed degree I thought there
time work through the 黑料社, including the Student was no way I could work as well as study, but I am now
Ambassador scheme, working in the Buttery/ in my final year and am still working, despite juggling
Haxby or working at the reception in the 黑料社 my course and rotations too, so I鈥檇 say it鈥檚 definitely
gym. This can make balancing work and possible to do. I work part-time at a local supermarket,
university much easier, as you choose the and they are really supportive in flexing my hours
shifts you want to do!鈥�
depending on how busy I am with my course. I live in
JACK BACON shared accommodation close to Hawkshead Campus,
BSc Veterinary Nursing with friends who I met in first year. In my third year I
joined the rowing team, having never rowed before.
I wish I鈥檇 have joined in first year!鈥�
