Student Bills: DIY or Do It For Me?

Should you manage student bills yourself or use a bills package? Learn the pros and cons of both and find the best solution for your budget and lifestyle with Housr.

Watch Our Video on Managing Student Bills

Still deciding? Check out our video to see the key differences between managing your own bills and opting for a stress-free bills package.

DIY Bills: The Hands-On Approach

Managing your own bills can be a great way to save money, especially if you’re on a tight student budget. Here’s why you might go DIY:

  • Savings Potential: You can shop around for the best deals from different providers, cutting costs.
  • Full Control: You get to decide on the services, providers, and terms that suit your household.
  • The Trade-Off: Be prepared to invest time and effort into researching providers, setting up accounts, and managing payments.

DIY is a good choice if you enjoy being hands-on and have the time to manage it all.

Do It For Me: Stress-Free with a Bills Package

Bills packages like Housr Bills take the hassle out of managing utilities. Here’s why students love this option:

  • Convenience: All your bills—like gas, electricity, water, and broadband—are rolled into one simple monthly payment.
  • No Drama: Everyone pays their fair share, so there’s no chasing housemates for money.
  • Predictability: Enjoy fixed costs, making it easier to stick to a budget.

A package is perfect if you value time, convenience, and a drama-free student life.

Which Option Is Right for You?

  • DIY: Great if you’re on a tight budget and want full control.
  • Bills Package: Ideal if you want convenience and a no-fuss solution to shared living expenses.

With Housr, you can focus on what really matters—your studies, your social life, and making the most of your university years. Ready to elevate your student experience? Download the App Today.
