Money is another major challenge that is faced in universities. In addition to university fees, there are other expenses to consider, such as accommodation, meals, transportation, shopping, and the things for daily use. Especially when starting university and during the first year. You might want to try out new restaurants, but it comes at a cost. You will frequently go out at night and buy new clothes which means your bank account isn’t happy, and you’re not too when there’s a balance left.
