Official UCL Applicant Thread for Entry in 2011!

I don't even live in the UK, generally my country is many times cheaper compared to the UK, but London is just too much lol! Yeah I know I will probably find a better paid job in London, but I have absolutely NO idea how I could support myself while studying there - the accommodation, the food, everything is so expensive
But it's great you live there, that's like a dream come true If I were you I wouldn't want to leave it either!

I've lived here all my life too and kinda don't want to leave. I've applied to 2 London Unis. Anyway, although it's quite expensive there are so many cheap things in London. For example eating out there are so many websites where you can get 50% off vouchers for popular restaurants and there are always cheap ways to buy food. The supermarkets are actually really cheap. I went to Paris last month and London is a lot cheaper than there! Also in the paper recently it actually said that it's cheaper to live in London than a lot of other parts of England...

Yes I guess if you live there you would know how to eat cheaply (I personally enjoyed the All You Can Eat for .. 6 Pounds somewhere (!?)) But accommodation at UCL is still quite more expensive compared to other unis' acommodation and you'll have to give tonnes of money for travelling to uni unless you live very near etc. Oh and I've heard that Bath is quite expensive as well, isn't it ? (nearly as expensive as London?)

I've not heard anything yet, no! This is what it says on their website;
