Thanks for all the most useful info. Please advise, with about Rm650k which universities/cities can I expect ? Is University of Liverpool a good u to consider ?

check with the respective uni websites.....but generally you will be looking at places like queens, leeds, aberdeen.....and maybe some of the new ones like hull, brighton-sussex, peninsula etc..........

yea..the hostels i applied for are around GBP100~170...self-catered. And UCL is right in the middle of the city. I reckon I can save some on transportation since all the hostels i applied for are within walking distance to uni.

How much will groceries and stuff cost?

Hi guys,

I had received offer for Pharmacy course in University of Manchester. Does anyone here who study in Manchester? There are some queries which I would like to ask.

Please pm me and enlighten my problem. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Best to ask out here so other forumers that faces the exact problem could reap from the same answer.. Besides, there're some forumers from Manchester that could help you too.
Don't seal up.

Anyone knows, is it possible to get a half price discount when you renew your passport showing your offer letter ?

I already accepted the uncon offer but I haven't received the offer letter yet.
What I receive though is a CAS letter. ( Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies ) from the Uni.

Is this letter enough to prove to them ?
Thanks

actually uncon offer letter is good enough
no??
it will be better if you already settle the tuition fees
then just show them the CAS letter you have plus the receipt
for visa purpose, you need to settle your accomodation too
prove to them you have a place to stay

I have not pay the fees yet since i haven't settle my passport yet. now doing the accommodation.

if that's the case, is good that you renew your passport first
then only apply for visa

For canada, yes. Jst bring along ur acceptance letter. Not too sure about other countries.

Thanks hope it works!

Okie. May I ask what is the minimum living expense in Cardiff, Manchester and Birmingham? Still wondering which city I should go for..

I've got my passport renewed at half price.
it works.

For Cardiff the minimum living expenses (bare minimum) should be close to 500...
Average rent for private residences in cathays (student area near uni) is around 230-270 without bills
University residences im not sure...you can check the accomodation website for the info
Bills etc provided your living in private accomodation should set you back around 70 per month
Mobile phone contracts around 35 (with good phones)
foods etc 150 if you cooking and eat a lot
Transports free (with you legs )..its a compact city so everything's in walking distance
