Derby is an affordable place to live

The cost of living for students in Derby is very reasonable, and much cheaper than in many larger cities.

But remember that everybody funds their cost of living differently and that some people spend more money on one thing than others do.

Some items, such as clothes, can vary in price according to where you buy them. For example, you can buy a pair of basic denim jeans from a supermarket for around £5, but a pair of designer jeans from a fashionable city shop could cost over £50.
