How financially prepared are students for the new academic year?
A report on what students say and what their real financial behaviour shows about preparedness for the year ahead.
Combining survey responses from almost 800 students with real spending insights from 40,000 students, this report explores:
- How financially prepared do students feel for the year ahead and what do their actual finances tell us?
- Where do they cut back when money gets tight?
- When can financial pressure start to become a risk to continuation?
- How does the picture differ between new and returning students, and home and international students?
- What can institutions do to prepare students earlier and identify financial vulnerability sooner?
