Things were more expensive than they are in Germany especially housing as well as food and toiletries. Besides I wanted to travel a little bit to get to know the country and therefore spend some money on train tickets, hotels, rental cars etc.

Personal comments
There was a fruit and vegetable as well as book market on campus where one could save some money. There is a Lidl and Aldi supermarket in Feltham which is a lot cheaper than Tesco, Waitrose etc. I had a few jobs on campus doing tests for the Business Department where you were paid right away. They usually paid very well and one could earn some extra money.

Personal comments
I spoke english very well before going to the UK to study there. I had live in the United States before so I did not encounter any language difficulties. Only the 5 year old daughter of my landlady did not understand some of my American English ;-)! I learned B.E. very fast and was able to substitute A.E. words by B.E. words - no problem at all.

England is very expensive! Especially in county of Surrey (where the school is). The exchange rate was 2.3 canadian dollars to 1 pound when I was there; this certainly didn't help things. It was worth the money though.

Before going I knew it was going to be expensive... just be prepared to spend a lot on just about everything. It is fairly easy to get a job on campus if you need to make extra money, I worked at the Student's Union bar which helped me out quite a bit.
