The pie charts compare the proportion of spending that occurred by students at one specific university in the years 2000 and 2010.
In general, a higher percentage of money was spent on utilities (electricity/water) in total expenditure compared to eating out and transport facilities, which made up minimal expenses throughout the span, while the reverse is true for clothing. In detail, students expanded the same amount of money in holidays, sustenance, and sports/cultural categories in all questioned years, but the dominant figure was food versus drink over the entire period.
Focusing on the highest patterns, communal expenditures like water versus electricity had the only 6% discrepancy over a decade, although both the transport and eating out sectors stood at 8% (former) and at 4% (latter) in the beginning. In 2010, the former figure increased insignificantly by 1%, whereas the latter one doubled by 8%.
In contrast, clothing experienced a significant decline, reaching from 16% (2000) to 5% (2010). When it comes to the same statistics, holidays and sport/culture leveled off, with 5% and 17% throughout. Similarly, around 30% of money is spent on sustenance, also, this rate became the most popular among other expenditures.
