to the lady that mentioned accommodation costs in central london, I dont think you got realistic estimates If its central london aka zone1/2 then the rent is 650 and more and that's likely without bills for a studio.If it is inclusive of bills then you would be sharing with 4-6 people typically school accommodation private hostels goes from 850-1200 inclusive bills and internet the 500pounds is typically from zone3 outwards and is UNLIKELY to be with bills and if it is inclusive then you'll be living in a shoe box and sharing bathrooms with again 3-5people. Note british rooms are typically small with very little space. So if you are schooling in london be prepared and get parttime(weekend job cos of school work) so as to make up for the deficit. Note the closer you live to school the less you spend on transport, in fact walking distance to school is better. So you'll notice that those who take hostel accomodation at an expensive price claim that money back from little or no transport costs. Please check tfl website for transport costs and google search for accommodation in zones 1-6 to give you a good idea of what you are going to face. Similarly download the tfl tube map it will give you an idea of distance. |

@ttsource: You can contact your school on that. I know schools usually have a list of registered landlords who provide private accommodation for students outside campus. |

auntytee: I intend to commence my masters programme in january. Please can any give any accurate details on University of westminster?... From what I have bn reading on this thread, I understand that living in london as a student is a bit or rather more expensive than the other cities. But this seem to be one of the few schools willing to offer a place for my course in january. What course will you be doing? and is that at the Harrow or Central London Campus? You can rent a self contained flat, a room in a house/flat or stay with a family. If you are at the harrow campus, then u need not want to stay in central london and u do not need to stay in central london too as stated by sum1 else if u r cost concious.. |

Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by ogri1391: 3:07pm On Aug 20, 2013 |
cost of a meal depends on as much as u wanna eat. In some places u just buy and pay for what u eat and drink. Can be £2 - £5. Really depends on how much u wanna spend and eat. Some Unis estimate £45 per week feeding allowance But in catered halls, ur food, heat gas lights etc is included in price... |

ogri1391: dont be put off by cost of food etc tho....thank you very much and if I want to live off campus. Can I know the average cost of gas internet water and electricity |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by ogri1391: 4:19pm On Aug 20, 2013 |
abbakacici: thank you very much and if I want to live off campus. Can I know the average cost of gas internet water and electricity internet off campus average about £10 per month for about 1 or 2gb data with a dongle/USB stick for your laptop/pc. You may be able to use the wifi of your flat sharers too for free if they give your the access code to their internet service. Gas, light water may be inclusive of your monthly rent. If its not and u sharing a house with others, it will not be much since u will all contribute a certain amount. So have u actually got an offer from the Uni or still thinking of going there. |

Hello house, who has an admission with university of Glasgow here?I need to make some enquiries. |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by philoe: 10:39am On Aug 21, 2013 |
abbakacici: Please any one in hertfordshire or going there Yeah, I will be studying Mental Health Nursing in the above university in January. I have also been to the university for admission interview. It's not too bad. I find Hatfield expensive though, thanks to its proximity to London. In retrospect, I wish I had applied to a university further North of England. |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by lopmaidx(m): 12:08pm On Aug 21, 2013 |

Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by philoe: 6:39am On Aug 22, 2013 |
ogri1391: Thanks bro. I'm considering getting accommodation in Luton and drive to school/ placements. I'm married and wify is expecting next month, so I will have to find a part time job so as to meet up expenses. My course is fully funded by NHS, but the bursary may not be enough to sustain us. |

I have been reading about £7,200 maintenance fee for a year. Please if someone is going for an undergraduate program which is 3 years and has nobody to send money to him from Naija or anywhere . After he must have exhaust the first year maintenance fee, what happens with the remaining 2 years tuition and maintenance fee? I mean how can someone source for it? Can it be source for over there doing part time job? Thanks |
