Sutton Grammar School

Year 12's enjoyed a lecture from Exeter University on student finance and budgeting whilst at university. They were encouraged to start thinking about the cost of living when selecting their choices for next year and consider options such as stay at home, use student accommodation or share a rented home. Many were surprised when the monthly costs were broken down for them!

'I found the speaker very interesting and appreciated the clear way she explained the costs in regards to university. One thing I found surprising was how much bills for electricity and water truly were'. - Posi

'The lecture was very informative and eye opening as it helped me mentally prepare for the costs I will have to bear in mind for uni in the next 2 years' - Kayla

'I'm so happy my parent's pay for Netflix'

'I was really surprised when I realised how quickly everything adds up. It made me really grateful for my parents'.

'I appreciated the insight into university life and it's costs'
