Plan regular journeys

If you regularly travel between your accommodation and university, compare the available options.

These might include:

• Walking
• Cycling
• Bus passes
• Railcards
• Season tickets
• Student travel discounts

A monthly or termly pass may be cheaper than buying individual tickets, but only if you are actually going to use it enough.

Going home

If you regularly travel home by train or coach, booking ahead can often reduce the cost considerably.

Include these journeys in your budget rather than treating them as unexpected expenses.
