Other than course fees, how much will it cost to live while I am at university?

Estimating the cost of living as a single student is not easy, as costs can vary significantly depending on which area of the city you live in and what lifestyle you lead.

A single student living in Bristol is likely to spend about £8,000. This includes the cost of accommodation, heating, lighting, books, food, clothing and travel to and from the campus. It does not include the cost of a trip home, holidays, concert tickets or personal items such as mobile phones or PCs.

A helpful guide to costs and how to manage them can be found at http://www.uwe.ac.uk/advice/money/
