What is life like for today’s students? As the university and college terms began, I talked to a

eat quite cheaply at the university, but I spend quite a lot on transport. I aslo spend quite a lot on

Colin Peters, who is studying engineering, disagrees. “ I don’t spend anything on clothes,” he
said, “unless you count climbing boots. I’m very keen on climbing, and you do need special

includes the rent, food, transport and heating for the flat in winter.’
