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).
