Abi
Hello, I am Abi...
I’m a third-year English Literature student. I’m from Yorkshire and I play a lot of netball when I’m not stuck reading!
Abi's top money tip:
Make sure you download with your friends to ensure people always pay you back what they owe you!
Lucy
Hello, I am Lucy...
I'm a third-year Politics and International Studies (PAIS) & Global Sustainable Development student originally from Greater Manchester. I love to cook and I love watching 'Strictly Come Dancing' and horror movies.
Lucy's top money tip:
Try substituting meat when cooking meals like bolognese or chilli. Beans, lentils and frozen veggie mince can bulk up meals and they're cheaper than fresh beef mince!
Ruyi

I am a final-year Psychology and GSD Link opens in a new windowstudent. In my free time, I will probably be enjoying music and happily involved in brass and cappella rehearsals.
Ruyi's top money tip:
Look for part-time jobs through Unitemps Link opens in a new windowearly - there will always be something for you there!
Amelia
Hello, I am Amelia...
I'm a first-year Computer Science student. I'm from Hong Kong and am currently living in Milton Keynes! I do some ice skating, aerial arts, and rifle shooting in my free time. You can probably spot me in the Department of Computer Science, usually :D
Amelia's top money tip:
Split up your savings into different bank accounts with different purposes (like a major savings account, daily spending etc), so it's easy to keep track of finances!
Lynara
Hello, I am Lynara...
I am a second-year student, originally from South Africa. I love exploring new places, trying new experiences and making the most out of student life. I enjoy going to the gym, getting involved with 91¸£Àû UNICEF and finding fun ways to stay active and connected on campus.
Lynara's top money tip:
Set up an automatic transfer of £5-£10 a week into savings - you don't notice it leaving, but it adds up fast.
