guys do you think I could live in london for ?

I’m thinking of going to a uni in London and my parents make 1.5k~ish each per month 1000 of which goes to paying rent for where we live.
If I get a job for some money and use some of my parents income do you think I’d be able to live in london?

ahhh it may just be possible but you need to manage expectations - your standard of living may not be luxurious.
Are you going to get additional support from SFE etc?

Try getting a job at a chain. So you can transfer to stores near home/uni.
Mcdonalds is a good bet.
