Every penny counts when you're a student, so be money-savvy with these handy discounts (The Independent)

After an extremely long summer at home with the family, we’re all craving our own personal space and independence.

Thankfully, it’s almost time to go back to uni. If it’s your first time, making new friends, learning new subjects and joining sports clubs are just a few of the things everyone is looking forward to at the beginning of the new autumn term. While for existing students, it’s moving into new homes and reuniting with friends.

University is a time for exploring new ideas, freedom, making friendships that will last a lifetime as well as having fun. It really is no wonder why many people cite university as being the best years of their life.  

Despite all the excitement, moving away from home for the first time (or again) and starting a new life can be a little stressful, which is exactly why we’ve compiled this list of student essentials for you.
