Personal spending habits
The US dollar is extremely weak in comparison with the British pound, so everything in the UK costs about double what it would in the USA.

was more expensive than at home.
Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
If you're going to travel in the UK and will be here for more than 6 months, buy a Young Persons Railcard. It costs £20 for the year and gets you a third off of any ticket. Also, buses are a bit slower, but considerably cheaper. Don't shop for all of your groceries at a Sainsbury Local or Express or at Marks and Spencer. Try to find a Co-op or Tesco. For toiletry and household items try Superdrug before Boots. Always ask if a store gives a student discount (clothing stores, restaurants, and hair salons included).
