Student Budget Challenge
The student budget challenge is a great way to experience budgeting for the first time. Students choose their accommodation and job, and then have to plan their meals for a month. Using average statistics on student loans and finances, the challenge gives students a chance to explore living as an HE student with none of the consequences!
