The conversion rate was hard on the US dollar and also there is just so much to do that it's hard not to go try to experience it all.

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.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
A private grant
Work opportunities:
I worked, but it was illegal/cash in hand work
Personal spending habits
I spend less at home because access to activities such as traveling and nightlife is limited, and the food and other such things were a new experience where I was studying, hence more money was spent.

If I didn't go for spending more in overall aspects than I would've chosen to stay home in the same pace and speed of life. That's why I went away to explore more, ahich has its cost.

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.
