[b][LONDON, 8/5/2018][/b] - When it comes to student accommodation, a hostel is where students establish lifelong friendships. The hostel environment not only gives an opportunity for students to enhance their social skills, but lets them learn how to live independently.

One skill that students develop as they stay in a hostel is learning how to manage their finances. Researchers in clinical and counselling psychology conducted a study that investigated the impact of hostel life on students.

The proponents of the study conducted semi-structured interviews to ten students living in hostels around the UK. In the interviews, the majority of the students emphasised that they learned how to deal with money by budgeting on the first week of the month. Results showed that for most of the young university students, this was the time when they learned how to save, spend and pay their bills.

The students also highlighted how they learned how to deal with their personal issues alone. At home, they were used to getting pampered by their parents; in a hostel, they learned how to cope with stress by seeking advice and support from their circle of friends in the hostel community.
