The budget is calculated for a student who lives in a student corridor room and cooks most of his/her meals in the corridor kitchen, with the occasional lunch at one of the cafés/restaurants on campus. This student buys 1 - 2 books (course literature) per course and has a rather modest clothing account. If this student wants to join the IKSU Sport Centre an additional 300 - 500 SEK per month needs to be added to the budget.
The amount of money you spend each month will of course vary depending on your personal lifestyle and preferences, so you should take that in to account when making your own budget.
