The cost of living for overseas students in the UK varies with regional and individual consumption levels, so it is difficult to measure it uniformly, but the approximate range can be determined. The main expenses for studying in the UK are as follows:
1, accommodation fee
British universities provide on-campus student apartments for first-year foreign students. In the apartments for international students, three to seven students often share a house, and each student occupies a separate room. * * * It is more expensive to use the kitchen or bathroom (there is also a separate bathroom, which is more expensive than * * *). This kind of university dormitory (cooking for yourself) costs about 120 to 200 pounds a week. After the second year, international students often choose to live in host families or rent their own houses. If you can share a room with several classmates, the price is much more cost-effective than on-campus accommodation.
2, three meals a day
In Britain, it is very common to spend 150 a month for three meals a day. If international students eat at a higher level, about 300 Jin a month is enough.
Step 3 buy daily necessities
Studying in Britain may also require buying some daily necessities and paying for transportation. The incidental expenses are about 100-200 pounds per month, depending on the frequency and distance of going out. Because the time spent studying in the UK is relatively short, international students can bring enough clothes from China to the UK. If they buy them locally in the UK, the price difference is not very big.
4. Return home during holidays and travel expenses
British universities have three holidays every year (Christmas, Easter and summer), of which summer can last for three months. If you go back to China to visit relatives, the round-trip air ticket is about 800 pounds. The cost of holiday travel is about 600 to 1000 a year.
