  Dec 14, 2017
Christmas is always a stressful time of the year! And even more so on a student budget.

There are so many festivities to get involved with, and you don’t want to miss out on any! We don’t want you to fall short on the activities either, which is why we have created this list to help you stay festive on a budget!   Budget Make sure you know your budget. Plan ahead and know your spending limit. Don’t go too OTT as your friends and family know that this time of your life is difficult and so they probably don’t expect you to go overboard. And remember, there are plenty gifts you can easily make yourself.

If you are heading home on the train, then make sure you have booked your ticket in advance. Generally, the earlier you book the ticket the cheaper it will become. For cheaper tickets, aim to be flexible and try to avoid peak times.   An alternative option is to get the Megabus or National Express, they tend to be a lot cheaper however will usually take a lot longer to get to your destination. However, if you don’t mind about this, then it is usually a good option.   Get as much work done as you can via GIPHY This sounds boring, but you will thank us later! As much as Christmas is about relaxing, as a student that doesn’t really happen. There are still parties to go to, home friends to catch up on and those dreaded deadlines to work towards!
