What’s the cost of going to Uni?
2011-04-11 08:59:35
With over 40 universities now starting to disclose their stance on the proposed increase in 2012, when they will be allowed to charge up to £9,000 per year in tuition fees, we wanted to show you the real costs. Many people forget that you don’t just have to find money for tuition fees you have also got to cover your living expenses whilst you are at university too.
For a student living away from home and on campus for a 39 week academic year you will need in the region of another £8,000 to cover annual living expenses in addition to your tuition fees.

And then there’s more!!
If you enrol on some degree courses you will also be required to pay for specific items, such as materials or activities such as field courses, which are not covered in the tuition fees.
Also, we often hear at notgoingtouni that the social aspect of student life is a large part of the reason for choosing university over other routes. Well if you like to go out clubbing don’t forget that you have also got to add the cost of paying to get into a club, drinks etc on top of everything else.
Here is a table that shows the universities who have so far released details of the new fees they will be charging.
