The collaboration between Studentpad and The Student Energy Group was designed with one goal in mind: making life easier for students no matter what they need. By pairing trusted housing advice with brilliant utility plans, both geared towards students, our partnership helps students focus less on time-consuming admin and more on living their best lives.
Smart Student Life Hacks for Easier Living
- Prep everything the night before. No one likes early starts, and trying to find your things at 7am on a cold morning takes twice as long. Lay out all your clothes and items the night before so you don’t have to figure it out the next day.
- Libraries are your best friend. They’re quiet, warm, full of books and most importantly, free. If you’re struggling to find a decent place to focus, the library is your best bet.
- Spare cables. You’ll always have to charge something, at some point. Whether it’s a laptop, a tablet or a phone, a dead device can derail a productive day. Keep spare cables in your room and in your bag for emergencies.
Save on Bills and Energy Effortlessly
- Batch cooking. Boiling a kilo of pasta on a Sunday night might not be the most exciting way to spend an evening, but bulk cooking your meals can save you not only time but also money. It’s also convenient for when you’re in a rush and need something healthy and nutritious on the fly.
- Shower at the gym. If you’re looking for ways to reduce your uni bills, showering at the gym saves on money and electricity. Plus most gyms will have reduced membership fees for students.
- Store cards and student discounts. A few minutes of research will help you find which stores and brands can save you money, whether it’s with a student discount or a store card.
- For bigger savings on utilities, The Student Energy Group provides student-friendly energy plans designed to keep bills low and stress even lower.
Plan Your Accommodation Search Early
While you’ve likely got a million other things to deal with, beginning your search for the perfect accommodation early means you’ll have access to the best options before they’re snapped up. With Studentpad’s trusted platform, you can search for student accommodation at your own pace and pick the right fit for you. Showing you’re organised and prepared also helps build a positive relationship with your future landlord.
Student Accommodation Tips You’ll Actually Use
- It doesn’t always have to be an even split. Sure it’s frustrating when it feels like you’re the only person that lifts a finger, but not doing the dishes because you did them yesterday can seem petty and also leads to more housework in the long run. Try and do what’s best for the household rather than thinking everyone has to pull their weight evenly.
- Not everyone wakes up at the same time. Getting up at 6am and using the blender before a gym session might not make you the favourite housemate. Be courteous of noise levels at different times of the day.
- Location over everything else. The perfect house on the outskirts of the city doesn’t really matter if you’re miles away from the action. Being close to both your campus, and all of the excitement a new city has to offer makes all the difference.

Working Together for Smarter, Simpler Student Living
Our goal is to make student living both easier, and more enjoyable. By giving students advice on both big and small issues, we want to take away the guess work that comes with further education and allow students (both new and seasoned) to enjoy their time as much as possible without too many hurdles. Together, Studentpad and The Student Energy Group are committed to making student living smarter, simpler, and far more stress-free.
