What is life like for today students? As the university and college terms began, I talked to a few students about their lives.

Sarah James is a second year biology student. “Money is a big problem” said Sarah.“I can eat quite cheaply at the university, but I spend quite a lot on transport. I also spend much on clothes, as I like to wear things that are in fashion.”

Colin Peters, who is studying engineering, disagrees. “I don’t spend anything on clothes,unless you count my climbing boots.” hesaid. “I’m very keen on climbing, and I do need special equipment, some of which is very expensive. Luckily, my parents gave me the money for my birthday in November. Not much of my money goes on transport, because I have a bicycle.”

Diana Bell is a first year fashion students. “I make all my own clothes. This should save me money, but infact, the material sare very expensive. Idon’t know how I would manage if I didn’t sell some of the dresses and hats I made to the other students. Everything is expensive.” she said. “That includes the rent, food, transport and heating for the flat in winter.”

Jack is a science student in his final year. “What do I spend my money on? Well, not on clothes, and not a lot on going out in the evening. My rent is expensive, and I suppose I spend quite a lot on books.”
