Living expenses at university will vary considerably according to your personal circumstances and lifestyle choices.
You must have sufficient funding in place before enrolling on your course so it is important to consider the real costs involved. Underestimating this figure could have a negative effect on your studies and, in rare cases, can result in a student having to withdraw from their course, or accruing substantial debts.
Below is a rough guide to what you might expect to spend to live in reasonable comfort in London. Estimates cover accommodation, food and travel but exclude tuition fees.

1 The average College Halls of Residence cost is for 2015-16. The 2016-17 average cost will be confirmed and published over the summer 2015.
2 Although the average cost of College accommodation is £168 (inclusive of a £2/week Halls Activities Fund), it's important to note that 63% of College accommodation costs less than the average cost of living in London privately (£155).
3 Students choosing to live in private accommodation may be required to commit to a 52-week contract and therefore may need to budget for 52 weeks of accommodation costs.
