Being a student at university can be fun and exciting, but it can also sometimes be expensive and difficult, especially when is comes to being organised!

If you live with a lot of others students, on campus or in a house, then food shopping can be a particularly confusing thing. You may have to decide if you’re going to cook together, eat together, do the food shopping together and other decisions like that.

And if you don’t eat together, then it can be hard making nutritious and interesting meals for one person, especially if you’re on a budget.

Now that Christmas is over, you probably got some presents that are useful for a university student who is living on campus.

But before you lug everything back to university with you, have a think about what you will really need. You might have noticed, having had one term on campus already, that there are some things you wish you’d taken to begin with.

When you’re at university, it’s really important to look after yourself, and this includes how you eat.

It’s very easy to be lazy at university and just eat badly, but you have to try and make yourself eat wholesome, good meals. This includes getting fruit and vegetables into your diet, as you need to get all your vitamins through your meals.

If you live in campus in university halls, then you may be catered for, which should help you to eat a balanced diet but, if not, then it’s really important to try and get a healthier lifestyle yourself.
