Newcastle is among the top 10 cheapest cities in the UK for students, new research has revealed.
The study, by tutoring experts Superprof, examined every university location across the UK, using data from Numbeo to find where students can live at the lowest cost. The analysis was based on cost-of-living factors such as the average price of weekly student accommodation, as well as weekly costs of alcohol, fast food, coffee and taxi fares.
It showed that Wolverhampton was the most affordable city to be a student, with an average weekly spend of £120.90. Wolverhampton offers the cheapest student accommodation at £81 per week, in addition to the fourth-cheapest weekly alcohol costs and the third-cheapest taxi fare at £11 per five-mile journey.
