Answer: A. £540 (according to Save the Student 2025)
Students on average throughout the UK are paying £540 a month on their rent. If your rent is significantly higher than this or you feel you are struggling financially to pay the rent, then you may need to assess your financial circumstances and budget. You can always come and speak to the Financial Guidance Team and we can help you with building your budget and accessing additional financial support where available.
