The Student Becomes The Master

It was only this week that someone commented on how 'heartwarming' it is that so many staff members in the SCCO department (Schools, Colleges, Community, Outreach) have been students at Nottingham Trent University.

17 Things You Need To Know About University

1. Budget your money.

It's time to get responsible! So many people blow all of their student loan in Freshers' Week and are left with nothing. If you don't want to spend your first year working debts off or grovelling to your parents, give yourself a set amount each week.
