Starting your student life brings with it a lot of financial changes. What are the study costs? How much money should you borrow? Should you stay at home or move out? What are the costs that are tied to that? Should you go look for a part-time job or not? As a student you’ll have to answer all these new questions regarding finance. It is important to have a clear overview of your revenue and expenditure. Luckily, there are different institutions that can help you out.
