Money-Saving 团队做了一个有趣的调研▼
“How much difference a postcode can make on what you shell out.”
地域差距对于日常开销影响到底有多大？
☟☟☟
结果不出所料，念同样的学科，租住在同level的宿舍，只是因为你所在的英国城市不同，前后差距可以高达￡3000。
在这项调查中，针对英国11个大区↘，对于学生的主要开销，住房，Night Out，以及交通等四方面进行测算。

London
（在每个大区中，每项消费指标又取样三个不同城镇中的重点大学，比如消费最低的英国东部，Money-saving 团队就取样Cambridge，Norwich 和 Essex这三所大学。）
总体来说，造成消费差距拉开的主要原因就是房价，比如在英格兰东北部桑德兰的学生住房花销最少，平均每年只需支出￡3420，而伦敦帝国理工的同学要每年比最少的同学多支出两倍不止，￡7776.
交通费用按区域排名：
Cheapest transport costs by region
在交通上，剑桥的同学几乎是不花钱，因为他们的主要交通方式是自行车，而像牛津，英格兰东南部的同学每年在交通上的花销是￡240，最悲催的还是伦敦的同学，平均在交通卡的花销上要支付￡1008.

生活开销费用按区域排名：
Cheapest student living costs by university town
虽然英格兰东部（Cambridge, Essex, Norwich）总体生活开销最低，但对于学生来说，桑德兰（Sunderland）是花销最低的城市，第二花销低的是位于英格兰西北部的兰卡斯特（Lancaster）。
在伦敦，花销最低的是来自大学Queen Mary University of London，她甚至比另外7所不在伦敦的大学城普遍花的更少：分别是位于苏格兰的Edinburgh和Glasgow，英格兰西南的Exeter和Bristol，还有英格兰中部的Nottingham。

其实花费多少这里只是一个普遍概念，并没有考虑到比如在不同城市需要租住学生宿舍的学生比例，学生使用共同交通的频率，是否喜欢泡吧，Night-Out的时候会给自己买多少杯酒等等。但是仍旧具有借鉴价值。
