Hey, is there anyone who has recently been to UK i mean from the past 2 to 3 months for bachelor's especially in London or somewhere outside London.

Yes! I’ve recently been to the UK for my bachelor’s studies. A few quick pointers:

London is amazing but quite expensive for living and accommodation. You’ll need to budget carefully. Public transport is great though.

Outside London (e.g., Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol) can be cheaper and still offer excellent universities and student life.

Most universities have international student support and events, so it’s easier to settle in.

Weather can be chilly and rainy, especially in winter, so pack warm layers and waterproofs.

Costs: tuition is the main expense, but living costs vary significantly between London (~£1,200–1,500/month) and other cities (~£800–1,000/month).


Overall, the UK is still a strong option for international students if you plan ahead and budget well.
