I thought my money would last longer in the U.K. than in Norway as things are generally less expencive. The living costs turned out to be a little much, and I did not try to save money to begin with, which is always a mistake. A good advice is to find a part-time job as soon as possible as it will help your money last longer and it can also be a great experience.

One way to save some money on food and day-to-day groceries is to always look for sales. Even small convenience stores have items on sale. A good way to save money at clubs and bars is to look for flyers that either get you in with cheap cover or even free. There are many students handing out flyers every day in school for different places so you can check them out. Also, inside clubs you can get certain drinks for a pound or on a 3-for-1 deal that can save you a lot of money.

great solidarity among the students from abroad. It helps to save mony, specially in the arrival.

Not really, I looked into it very carefully before I left. It is easy to keep track of your money, not in detail but just write down what you spend and when.

Traveling within Europe and the UK was much cheaper than purchasing all of the flights beforehand in the United States.
