Survey of Student Income and Expenditure

In past years the Accommodation Officer, Mrs Mildred Brown, has collected information from students on their expenditure and income for the academic year. This information has been used to advise intending students of the cost of living for university students and to help document a case for increased bursaries. Information has been gathered from students living in halls and flats.

This year it is proposed that this survey be extended to cover students living at home as well as those flatting or in halls of residence. Mrs Brown would like to hear from students who would be prepared to keep records of their income and expenditure for the year and then to supply this information to her at the end of the academic year. All individual details will be kept confidential. Only average figures and range of costs to be kept can be obtained from wardens of halls by those students living in halls, from the Health Service (4 Wai-te-ata Road), the Gymnasium or the Accommodation Service (6 Kelburn Parade).

Do your bit to beat the bursary bug and help NZUSA in its efforts to get adequate bursary assistance for all students.
