Studying in UK 在英国留学

Living rent in london is about £400 – £450 per month. For food, if you cook at home about £40 – £60 a week. Eating out is about £10-15 per meal. But its common to cook at home. Most cooked meals are italian such as pasta or pizza. and of course curry.

If you are living outside london, it is about the same in eating costs, but the rent is about £250-£300.

Remember to ask for grants. There are overseas student grants/bursary. if you are interested, visit the local british embassy to see if there are grants. or you can check their website.
Check the school fees. Its quite different from uni to uni. The last time i saw, its about ~£8000 per year for foreign students. Tips: Students in UK are allowed to work for 20 hours per week. and most uni students work here to cover their expenditure and get experience.

End of the day, no matter what the course is. Popular Unis are good. if you applying for UK universities, you have to go through UCAS. you can also visit their website for more information.

The best thing to study in UK is you get to travel alot. I mean ALOT! .. not only locally to scotland / ireland but also to Europe. The flights from UK to various european countries such as france, belgium, germany varies from £20 – £100 return. In some cases, there are £1 return flights which are cheaper than local bus travel.

Money saving tips? in the UK

admin — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 09:37:09 +0000

Well money saving can be considered a long term personal investment. I always have rule of thumb and basically hold to it; having at least 6 months of living money (including all expenses).

A good site I am recommending is moneysavingexpert.com . I find a lot of articles very applicable especially, mortgage reviews, choosing the right banks and using the right credit/debit cards. have a look.
