As your probably starting to realise, there is much more to living on your own that first meets the eyes and planning for university fees is not the easiest task, especially when you live in a shared house
A few tips from planning for university fees articles:
A TV licence costs £135.50 a year, the TV license is probably best described as most as mild extortion. A simple way to cut costs is to claim a refund for the unused quarter you will not be using it for, namely, the summer period. Most universities do not start until the beginning of October By delaying the TV License until October, you can then claim back July, August and September the next year from the Television Licensing Organisation (TLO).
If you have any meters in your house for measuring electricity, water or gas, make sure you note down the numbers they display on the day you get the keys from the landlord. This means that you are not charged for domestic supplies you have not used.
