In addition to Chester being a fairly affordable place to live, the University of Chester also came second in the 2023 Whatuni Student Choice Awards for Cost of Living Support in the UK, with this being based solely on votes from students. To help students balance their budgets, the university often offers free loans of laptops and access to computers across its sites, as well as access to numerous e-journals and various physical and digital books.
The university also runs some catering initiatives to help students save money. For less than £3, you can enjoy one of its hot Value Meals. In addition, from 2pm on a first-come, first-served basis on campus, you can get one of its Too Good to Throw meals for free.
Getting a part-time job can also be an effective way to increase your spending power while also gaining experience and getting to meet new people. The university’s Careers and Employability team can assist you in finding part-time work in the area, possibly at the university itself, that will be compatible with your studies.
Finding affordable quality accommodation with inclusive bills is of course the foundation of living affordably in Chester. Bed Student Rentals offers a range of shared student housing in Chester that is well situated for the university. Visit our website today to browse our current vacancies.
