Why? well, the stand of living in Uk is completely different than the spanish one. UK is a very expensive country, specially if you live in the third biggest city of the Island. Tobacco, alcohol, taxis, food, academic books... my God! It is really expensive. As student you are in trouble if you don´t get a job to pay at least something. You know...I felt guilty that my family had to pay me eveything thing, like flights, accomodation, food...so I decided to get a job there for two reasons, for the money but to fill up my spare time. In Manchester is easy to get a part time job, so my advise to you is not to worry about it.You will be fine.

All of the international students found Britain expensive, though for a Finn, the difference is not huge. If you buy big shop chains' Value products, you may get very cheap food, if you don't mind the fact that Britons put sugar in everything. There's plenty to see in Britain & Ireland, and especially train travel is expensive.

Because England is a expensive country.

Because prices are mainly higher in the U.K.
