I worked during my study abroad experience Personal spending habits:
Food is incredibly expensive. Eating out is not much more expensive than cooking for yourself. Snacks like sandwiches are 3 pounds and are not great quality, 2 Chicken breast fillets are 13 pounds, There was no telephone provided by the univeristy and I had to use a mobile with a calling card. The bill could be 200 pounds a month. I strongly recommend using the internet (for which access is provided) and a software that allows you to make phone calls to a telephone. A Day travel card cost 5.20 pounds, Nightlife: Entry to a venue is 5-10 pounds Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Not all cash machines accept foreign credit cards. When I tried to maximise the withdrawal from my credit card and tried something like: withdraw 330 pounds -> no, 320 pounds -> no, 300 punds ->yes 310 pounds -> you can not withdraw cash. There is a limited number of failed attempts to withdraw cash and it does not work for the whole day if the number is exceeded. Always keep cash for an emergency This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
