"The chart shows the changes which took place IN student spending in the United Kingdom FOR the three-year period from 1996 to 1999.
Studens spent 3% less on accomodation, which fell FROM 23% TO 20% of total expenditure, and there was a 2% decrease IN spending on food, bills and household goods, which fell from 20% to 18%. At the same time course expenditure went down BY 3% from 10% to 7%. Children, who constituted 1% OF students' expenditure in 1996, are not represented in 1999.
On the other hand, there was a 5% growth IN spending on entertainment, which stood AT 26% of total expenditure in 1996 but rose TO 31% in 1999.
Spending on other non-essential items and credit repayments grew BY 4% to make UP 16% of total expenditure. Spending on essential travel went up TO 3% while non-essential travel underwent a 1% fall.
Overall, with the exception of expenditure ON travel, the most significant general change was a shift IN spending on essential items RATHER THAN spending on non-essential items."
