ucas clearing

After finding out that many people do not actually know what ucas clearing is, I was firstly shocked and then thought this could be a great article subject to write about! So here i am, writing a article to clear up what is ucas clearing?

So starting with UCAS! Ucas is a Government run site that allows you to apply to universities directly all in one go. You just simply select your universities you would like to apply to, write up a ucas personal statement and get your teachers to send off a reference and bobs your uncle you have applied to universities.

So going back to what is ucas clearing? well its a special area of the ucas site that if you have failed to meet requirements for the university you selected. You can go to the ucas clearing section of the site and find universities that have places available. for your selected course.

I just want to make one think clear! if you do have to use ucas clearing do not get your self down about it! there is millions of people applying to university each year and each university can only take a select group of people each year. so if you sadly do not get on it could just be that you was one of the unlucky ones that applied a little to late as most university work on a first come first serve bases.

I do hope this cleared up the question what is ucas clearing. ill cya again soon

Student money saving tips, Hey welcome to money saving tips for students. I will give you some of the tips i used for saving money while i was a student.
I know how you feel, i was once a student always out of money and spent most of it on alcohol. So i came up with 5 simple rules to follow to help me save money, I call this the 5 step plan for saving money. So here we go i am going to share it with you right now!

1) This tip actually costs money but can save you a hell of alot and provide you with loads of beer for your flat partys. Buy a homebrew kit, It may sound hard but it is really easy i picked one up in Wilkinsons for £20 just before christmas and it had 80 pints of actually really nice beer. Since then i have found out how to brew cider as well but ill save that for another post.

2) Stop buying ready meals and cook your self. Ready meals may be the easiest way to go but they actually cost you allot of money. If you like pizza why not have a go at making your own (recipe can be found on my blog) you can make two full size pizzas for under 1 pound and they taste great.

3) Only buy what you need, why buy the things that you dont really need. there isnt any point in buying snacks that you are only going to eat for the hell of it.

4) Film nights, Everyone loves films why not take a break from all the drinking and have a night in with a film or have a competition on a computer game or even a poker game everyone loves to pProxy-Connection: keep-alive

y poker and who knows it may even turn to strip poker!

5) This tip is really for the people who buy there lunchers at the uni. Make your own the night before and save around £2 on your sandwich.

Ok, then that is my student money saving tips and am sure ull save money just like i did and always remember have fun!
