Move Into a Co-living Space

Leaving your hometown for the first time might often mean struggling to manage everything on your own. But here’s the thang, you can skip that simply by moving into a co-living space. Preferably, a Stanza Living residence. Because we literally take care of everything. Also, shared living always makes way for becoming a part of a community. And honestly, you’ll build more helpful acquaintances living in a shared space than randomly browsing through Linkedin these days. You know the platform where every other person will make you a millionaire. Apparently.’

Eat Cheap

Your rent is supposed to be the highest bill you pay during the month. Not a compilation of food bills from cafes and eateries. So whenever you get the chance to cook, cook. Or if it’s something you absolutely want to stay away from, try and go for an affordable tiffin service for your daily meals. Sure, scrolling and picking a new restaurant in food delivery apps seems like a fun video game to play. But unlike video games, the money you spend is real. So…

Buy or Borrow Used Items

When you’re a student, spending on everything new is not a good idea. Seriously, you don’t even need to buy the newest edition of an expensive reference book. A xeroxed one will do. Or even a used one or a pdf version of it. Plus, packing and moving services are a tad pricey in Bangalore. So especially refrain from purchasing large items of use. Or accepting those super gigantic teddy bears from your special someone. Jk. Jk.’

Share Commuting Costs

Whether you have to go to your college or your coaching institute (or even just casual outings), you should never lose out on the opportunity to share commuting costs. Maybe it’s a friend. A roomie. Or a college senior. All you gotta do is talk to them and check if your destination falls on their route and vice versa. Cause the last thing you want is to spend more on Uber than Elon Musk spends just to prove a point.

Look for Free Entertainment

As they say, college is the best time of your lives. And we agree hands down. Mostly because you have to do a lot less adulting. So that’s more time for goofing around and having fun. Now, you can either do that by spending loads of monies or you can look out for free entertainment. And what better city than Bangalore for that? You’ll find loads of non-ticketed open mics, impromptu theaters, and live music gigs happening around all the time. You see, it’s not always necessary for good entertainment to be expensive. Like watching that clumsy friend hit themselves on open cabinets.’
