Without sound advice from parents, relatives or teachers, it\u2019s easy for freshers to fall into unhealthy financial habits that could impact them for years to come<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\">The \u2018pennies and pounds\u2019 conversations need to become as commonplace as those about the \u2018birds and bees\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"image file-default media-element\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ClearScore Spending hotspots\" data-delta=\"1\" data-fid=\"3636\" data-media-element=\"1\" height=\"996\" src=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/sites\/default\/files\/clearscore_student_spending_hotspots.png\" title=\"ClearScore Spending Hotspots\" width=\"600\"><figcaption>ClearScore&#8217;s map of student spending hotspots<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><u><font face=\"Calibri\">Students tell NQ about their experiences with handling their finances. <\/font><\/u><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><font face=\"Calibri\">Olivia Spyrka, a second year student from Bristol living in Manchester said: \u201cUniversity puts a big strain on you financially and nothing really prepares you.

You sort of teach yourself while you\u2019re at uni how to manage your finances\u201d<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><font face=\"Calibri\">Maisy Plater, a graduate from BIMM Brighton said: it took me a good while to come to terms with budgeting. Once I got a job, things picked up a little but I found over the summer all my money was going on rent. The major thing I struggled with the most was having money left over to do a regular food shop which meant I ended up living the typical student life of pasta and noodles.\u201d<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><font face=\"Calibri\">Some companies are also following ClearScore\u2019s lead in helping students with their finances. <\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><font face=\"Calibri\">Barbara Cox from Bloom Finance Group says they\u2019re launching a unique set of managed accounts to manage payments, bills and repair credit. <\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><font face=\"Calibri\">She said: \u201cThere are many scenarios students have issues with.
