Rent for a studio in London can easily amount to 300 quid per week or more depending on location.

cckkpr,

That's quite low compared to what I perceive from various uni website which state that generally 6500~9000 pound should be the 39-week living cost.
Abt the 9 months period you stated, what happens to all your belonging during the 3-month gap ( which I assume to be summer break ), do you need to find extra storage for it outside the contract period? I know this ques sounds dumb but just wondering.

Two unis I'm looking at are LSE n UCL which happen to not just be in london but central london  sweat.gif I guess they would be out of my budget then.

limeuu,

That amounts to 5400-6300 quid for 9 months which is even lower than cckkpr's ohmy.gif

Do many students stay thrifty and really spent that little during their studies in UK ? Cuz I don't see myself working part time there/ trying to cut corners at entertainment etc. but rather to enjoy the time studying there.
*
I was extremely thrifty during my first year but at the cost of declining health and a generally miserable year in London. Balance is key and most importantly, enjoy your undergraduate days in the UK. Be prudent with your finances but no need to be too severe with cutting spending.

Actually, it is possible provided you pay about 600 quid for rent alone.

u talking about zone 1 right??how about 30 minute by tube from ucl??possible to get 150 pound per week studio??no??
*
A studio for 150 a week? Absolutely not! You might get a room for 150 quid a week. Are you heading to UCL next year? What will you study at UCL?

An apartment with a 2 bedroom for 300 pounds per week in London? You could get them in the outskirts of London, probably zone 6 or zone 7. These place are far away from Central London.

Also, have a look at the website below:

Anyone had any racist encounters though?

I did! A few posh toffs hurled me insults all the while smiling. They weren't drunk which makes it all the more upsetting (implying a conscious effort from those bl**dy goons).

Just got a conditional offer in my UCAS from University of Manchester. I was hoping to study Chemical Engineering there, but the requirements are AAA including Math.

But my results that were released awhile back is AABB (B [78] for Math). Can I and should I attempt to apply anyways?

That very disappointing feeling when you were just 2 marks away from getting what you want is a hard pill to swallow.  sad.gif
*
You can either wait for the UCAS admissions results or phone up the admissions department and tell them about your predicament. There really is no need for you to re-apply as you have already been issued a conditional offer. It is up the university to decide whether to award you the place or not.

Which university did you choose for your insurance?

Thanks for the info. I haven't made up my mind yet for which one to choose as my insurance, I hope that's all right?I'm still waiting for further replies.

So far, I only have University of Manchester and University of Swansea that has sent me conditional offers
*
Of course that is fine. As long as you adhere to the deadline set by UCAS, you should be all right. Where else did you apply to if I may ask?

Any forumer studied there managed to continue living there and somehow migrated there permanently?

I am sure there will be a few lurking within the four corners of lowyat forum but given the recent political climate, immigration to the UK is extremely difficult.

Hey guys, besides A-Levels/STPM/IB. Does most unis in UK support diplomas? I'm planning to do Mechanical Eng. in the UK.

My worries are:
1) Can a diploma certificate help me attend a uni in the UK?
2) How do I know if the diploma certificate is accredited? Are all diploma certificates in this world the same?
3) If I'm going to do my degree abroad, is it possible for me to apply to the Board of Engineers Malaysia?
*
What sort of diploma are you talking about here? What is the conferring institution?

Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. Well I can't answer that ques. because I don't really know what institution that have a diploma certificate that could help me study in the UK. Is there any private unis that have a such diploma?

Ah! Honestly, I have no idea myself! Apologies!
