Personal comments
London is a very expensive place to live. Halls are affordable and also make it easier to get to know other students, etc. My hall of residence is also very central and there is a good mix of students from different countries.

Overall
I wish I had known...
Flights London-Munich-London are cheaper than the other way round. Book your initial return flight for the end of the year and just book London-Munich-London flights to go home.
