As a student it can be challenging trying to afford all the amazing things that the city of Manchester has to offer. Therefore, I have compiled a list of all the best student discount offers to help your loan stretch further – Student Intern, Francesca Berry

  1. Food In Advance

Not many UoM students are aware that they can save 10% on food and drink across campus by paying with their student ID card. Simply top up your student ID card at one of UoM’s food outlets or online at The University of Manchester estore. Food In Advance is a quick and easy method of payment, as it saves you carrying around cash and will help you budget your loan.
