The licence period for most of the University Hall of Residences is 37 weeks and the payment schedule is in line with when funding from Student Finance England is scheduled to arrive.
Private rented accommodation contracts are usually for 12 calendar months but it is often better to plan to use your student funding to help with the nine months of the academic year and use earnings from summer employment to pay for three months during the summer.
You will need to plan for the essential expenditure first (such as paying for accommodation and food) and then you can calculate how much you have left for non-essentials (such as going out!)
