Budget
Hello all,
I know UCL guestimates that living costs will be around £462.20. How reasonable is this really? I saw someone else afraid they wouldn't be able to live on £5,000.00 ... excluding rent.
I'm not sure what to do. I've more or less decided on UCL, but I am limited to personal savings + living costs loan of up to £26,234.00 including flights, visa fees, etc.). I'm limited to about £2,000.00/month. I am willing to work 10-20 hours while in the UK, but I have no clue how much I'd get paid.
Am I screwed?
I'm an American postgrad, if it matters.
