The rankings come from new research by Totally Money, who assessed eight cost of living factors to determine the most affordable areas. These were university hall accommodation, gym membership, a restaurant meal for two, cappuccino cost, a cinema ticket, the price of a pint in Wetherspoons, a large doner kebab, and the cost of an Uber to the university's listed town or city. Here are the 25 that ranked as the most affordable.
