Guys,

How's the cost of living near Imperial College, London? I checked their website and their suggestion is up to GBP 10000 per year for 'reasonable comfort'. What does that mean? Does that include accommodation? Anyone here has any experience on this?

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I'm sure you all have heard about the fees increase. Will it affect students enrolling for the 2011 Sept Intake?

If you don't already know, home students pay only ~3000 pounds per year, and those who can't afford this are either given bursaries or zero/low interest loans. International students pay anywhere from 9000 to 15000 pounds (and even more for medicine/dentistry and Oxbridge colleges) each year.

Fees increase every year (for us they can go up 1000 pounds, easily). The "fees increase" you're talking about is the raising of the fees cap for home students, so that they no longer pay from 0 to 4000 pounds. It's hard to say how much this will affect international students' fees.

Admissions could become affected by a number of factors:
- Major increase in home students' fees means more home students are admitted (relatively)
- Tighter immigrations rules and caps means fewer places for international students (coupled with strict quotas)
- Heavy budget cuts means fewer resources available to schools, and hence fewer places and/or pricier tuition fees
*
So that means if they increase threefolds, the same can be said for international students too?

Hey guys,hows the cost of living in london like? I'll be going ucl this sept. Is it possible to spend less than 200 pounds including accommodation? I applied for hostels already..not sure which im getting...intercollegiate or halls. Most probably selfcatered.

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?

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 smile.gif
