The pie chart shows average monthly student expenditure in the UK in 2016. The bar chart shows sources of student income in the same year.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
The two charts illustrate how students' monthly budget is distributed and
also
the sources of their income. As can be seen from the pie chart, exactly half of the student's income is spent on housing,
whereas
,second the highest expense is food. Bills,travel and socialising make up together around 185 pounds of the general pull. Other needs,
however
, account for only 91 pounds every month. Looking into the bar chart, it is noticeable that the main sources of income for more than three-fifths of the students are loans, family money and salaries from part-time jobs.
Although
around two-fifths of students use savings, bank overdrafts, grants and funding as the dominant source of money.
Overall
, a student's monthly budget consists of less than 1000 pounds and is mainly used for paying rent and groceries. for the majority of young people,
this
budget is mainly made up of student loans, part-time jobs or parents' financial support.
