1 Plan Ahead
From your accommodation plans to the money you’ll use for some upkeep when you arrive in the UK, it is best that you plan ahead of time before you land in the UK.

For Simon, if he had swapped his Naira to Pounds before leaving Nigeria and had sorted his accommodation plans, he’d have had a soft landing when he arrived in the UK. Therefore, anything that can make you have a soft Landing when you get to the Uk should be sorted before you land in the UK

2. Figure out the best way to make International calls
For someone like Simon heading to the UK, the Naira to Pounds rates differ. Hence, pending the time when you’ll get a steady or part-time job in the UK, you must economize so as not to run out of funds.

Rather than calling over a pay phone that could take all your funds, you can always call your family and friends over WhatsApp, zoom, Google meet, and Facebook messenger among other cheaper options.

3. Know how many hours you can work for
Most international students in the UK would most likely love to work. In fact, for someone like Simon who was on a partial scholarship, he would have to hunt for jobs both to pay the remaining part of his tuition and to send some pounds to his family back home in Nigeria.

Like him, you’ll have to figure out how many hours you can work that won’t affect your studies and mental health.

For International students, the maximum number of working hours per week is 20hrs. You are advised not to exceed this. Doing so could attract some consequences.

4. Figure out a way to send and receive money back home
