Student essentials – Before you move in by yourself!

Living on your own is a big step for anyone, especially when you are still young. So, ensuring you are prepared is key. And as it is probably your first time you’ve lived away, we have created a guide to help you get prepared.   Learn how to cook Most students when they first leave home will probably not know how to cook, therefore it is essential to know a few basic recipes. If you don’t, you’ll be forced to rely on ready meals and takeaways. Although this may sound good, it won’t be good for your bank balance…trust us! A basic tomato sauce, perfect for pasta and chicken, is essential. It is quick and easy, ideal for the student living!   Know your rights as a tenant When dealing with a private landlord, they can be guileful about your rights, and could try to miscommunicate you over your rights. Therefore, this is one of the reasons why we believe it is better to go with a letting agency; like ourselves as we know the laws inside out and will ensure all practices are kept. However, it may be beneficial to read up a little on your rights as a […]

5 cooking tips for all students

Does the thought of cooking fill you with fear? Would you much prefer to order your food, go out or cook oven food every day? Well unfortunately most bank balances won’t fulfil that luxury lifestyle! So by getting the hang of some basic dishes, it will not only save you money, but it will also be a healthier option, making you feel better in yourself. Once you have mastered a few dishes, you can then start to show off in front of your friends and family. This however doesn’t happen overnight, so we have created a list for you, to help with the essentials you’ll need.   #1 Seasoning Make sure you have a good selection of seasonings in your cupboards. They can add that little extra kick to your meal, turning what would have been a bland meal to a great tasty dish. With this in mind, you will be able to buy cheaper/own brands as the seasoning will enhance any flavours which may be missing.   #2 Stock up on basics Every cupboard needs its basics, and when you are student this is no exception. Pasta will probably become your main component to meals, and by the end […]

Making the most of the small room

Living in a house with your friends can be such an exciting experience. Moving away from home, living with friends, having your own space, is all great. Yet we all know that someone will be having the dreaded ‘box room’ if there is one in your house. The awkward talks about who will be going in that room is always a tough one, but someone has got to do it. And if it does fall down to you, then embrace it, it’s not that bad! So if you do find yourself living in the smallest room, then don’t worry, we have a guide to help you make the most of the experience. And after all, it is an experience, and probably one which will last for a year, so make sure you make the most of it!   #1 Decorate Decorating your room is key, make sure you decorate it with things which will make it homely. Adding fairly lights always add that little extra touch. Try and add lighter furnishings to make the room feel bigger, as adding darker posters, furnishings and details will make the room feel smaller and more compact.   #2 Embrace it Many dread the […]

Hosting the perfect pre drinks

Pre drinks have become an essential part of any night out. And as such many have got it down to a fine art. However, if you haven’t, then don’t worry. We have the ultimate guide to help you host and be a part of the perfect pre drinks.   What’s so good about it? Save money Pre drinks help you save a lot of money, and for any student this is a big bonus. Instead of those drinks in a bar beforehand – which will be expensive, why not save yourself a ton of money by drinking in the comfort of your own home.   Socialising with friends It is the perfect opportunity to catch up with friends. Let’s face it, in the club you can’t socialise with friends as most of the time you can’t hear each other and you are probably too drunk at this time to remember it in the morning!   DJ at home We all have that one friend that loves to DJ, and so this is the perfect opportunity to do so. You can listen to your favourite songs back to back without having to pester the DJ when you are in the club. […]

Student guide to getting fit

For many students, getting fit may be on the bottom of your list, below the drinking, eating out, takeaways and partying! However, it is essential to keep on top of your fitness and it may even be one of your new year’s resolutions? If so, we have a guide to help you keep fit while still being a student. So take a look below.   #1 Get in the right mind-set This may be over looked, however, if you are not fully into making a positive change in your life, then it will just slip away and you will be in the same routine as you were before. So it is important you want to do it for yourself. Therefore, it will only be you who gets you out of bed that little earlier or pushing yourself that little harder.   #2 Utilise the Universities facilities Usually your university gym offers a great discounted price for students. It will usually be close to where you live, also you could go before or after class without having to leave the campus. Making it that little easier to motivate yourself when you don’t fancy going as you are already there!   #3 […]
