Studying abroad was the best thing I ever did. Travel as much as money and time permits. Get out and explore your city inside and out every day you're there cause all you do is miss it when you're back.

When you're going out try to limit what you spend by putting your limit in cash in your wallet and leave any debit or credit cards at home in a safe place.

Budget yourself before you go, it's easy to let spending get out of hand.

yes, My living expenses were way to more than what I thought, and what I was told to be. As per cost saving tips: Do not leave any money to be converted in London. Take most of your money in the Pound Currency because the converting issue killed me in the begining. Also withdraw fromn banks as few as you can because they charge you any time you make a transection. Follow and find the cheap good deals, and do not speed up in your decision. If you search a bit more you can save a lot.
