Being a student is a lot of fun!
Being somewhere new, studying the subject of your choice, making life-long friends and ultimately learning the person you want to be.
Often university is the start of most people being in charge of their own finances.
Whether you are looking to cover expenses, nights out or begin saving, a part-time job can be a big help.
