Moving into your first student flat can be overwhelming. Between finding the right place, meeting deadlines, and outfitting your new space, it's easy to feel stressed. Imagine arriving at your new home fully equipped and ready to focus on your studies, not shopping. With Casita's Essential Kit, that dream becomes a reality.

Casita has realised the solution to your problem, which is why it offers expert student accommodation allocation services with the additional Casita Essential Kit. This kit includes all of your needed essentials so that you can find your student home effortlessly and have everything you need. So, there is no need for you to worry about wasting your time or money anymore! 

Finding Your Student Accommodation

Generally speaking, it is recommended that you start your student accommodation search at least six to four months before your arrival so that you can have the broadest possible options. Finding affordable student accommodation options as early as possible is also essential so that you can make use of early-bird discounts, which give a reduced price advantage to early bookers. 

This way, you won’t go through the hassle of booking a student accommodation option at the last minute and will get major discounts!

How to Budget 

As we mentioned, budgeting is essential, so in this section, we’ll provide the best tips and tricks on how to budget as a student. With that said, you’ll need to track your income and identify your expenses, so always be mindful of the money going in and out. You can also use budgeting tools such as dedicated budgeting applications or simply spreadsheets where you can factor in your expenses and mark down your goals. 

It is also recommended that you set realistic goals so as not to overstress yourself, easily achieve them, and be flexible to changes. 

Additional tips include cooking your food at home, using free entertainment, using public transportation, and buying secondhand.

Now that we have mentioned shopping, there are many more things you can do to shop smart. These include discounts, coupons, sales, and deals such as bundle deals (many items grouped together at a reduced price). And that’s where the Casita Essential Kit comes in.
