Personalize Your Space
Putting your mark on your space and feeling like your home and study space are yours is key to settling in for international students. Decorate your student flat with items that remind you of friends and family and help you feel comfortable. A cozy atmosphere can easily be created on a budget with decorations like fairy lights, throw pillows, posters, and photos.
When living and studying in one space, decorating your space can make things feel cluttered - but that's where our Pegboard comes into play. The Pegboard is a fantastic tool for creating a productive study environment and a welcoming and relaxing home space. Keep track of study supplies and notes, photos, and letters, or keep headphones safe or events to remember in plain sight.

Take Advantage of Student Discounts
Many stores in the UK offer student discounts, you'll usually just need to show a student ID card and occasionally sign up with a store individually. Always make sure to carry your student ID and inquire about discounts at shops, restaurants, and bars. This can help you save money on essentials and leisure activities, whatever you're up to!
Use Public Transportation
Public transportation in the UK is efficient and budget-friendly - make sure to get a student travel card to enjoy discounts on buses and trains. These savings can quickly add up and save you a lot of money, whilst also making it easier to explore the local area and discover new places.
Cook at Home
Eating out can quickly destroy your monthly budget. Learning to cook simple and nutritious meals at home can be a great way to get to grips with a new culture, cooking new recipes and sharing them with friends or coursemates whilst saving money.
Join Student Communities

Many universities offer free or low-cost activities, allowing you to socialize and participate in events without spending much money.
