Student travel is very close to our hearts here at Uni360. We love the adventurous creed by which it operates; that drop-everything-at-the-very-last-minute, stuff-some-clothes-in-a-bag-and set off.

After a long, hard year of studying - and with your exams thankfully over, and the holidays stretching out before you, you begin to turn your mind to what to do. The world is at your feet and you're desperate to cast off the term time shackles of exams and lectures and feel the freedom of the road.

You've only got two questions: where do I go and how can I do it affordably, stretching my student loan or savings that little bit further?

So we've put our heads together and come up with some handy tips and ideas that reflect the concerns of the student traveller on a budget.
