This is going to be a series of posts in which I will give you a step by step guide of applying to universities in United Kingdom.

So why United Kingdom?

There are many reasons students choose to study in UK, rather than other places.

Reason #1: Fees

This has to be a major factor for any student or parent when deciding a university to study abroad. International students pay fees up to three times more than the native students. Saddening, yes. On looking under the covers, I found that it is because international students haven't paid anything towards the UK government i.e. tax, while the native students/parents are paying tax each year. The 60% expenses of the universities come from international students.?

United Kingdom is relatively cheaper than its other counterparts. A 4 year course in USA might cost anywhere around $30,000-$40,000 while in UK, a 4 year course will range from12,000-18,000 ($19,800-$29,700). Below is?http://www.bonment.com comparison between United States and United Kingdom.

United States
? Private 4 years course: anywhere around $30,000 to $40,000
? Public 4 years course: anywhere around $7000 to $9000
? Public 2 years course: around $3000

United Kingdom
? Private 4 years course: anywhere around ï¿¡12,000-ï¿¡18,000
? Private 3 years course: anywhere around ï¿¡10,000-ï¿¡16,000

Reason #2 Living Expenses


United States

Living expenses in USA will set you back at anywhere from $10,000-$12,000 (depends on your style of living). Below is the breakdown of the annual expenses.

? Annual Rent: This will be around $4500-$5000 annually - taking 10 months into consideration.
? Yum! Yum! (per month): Average food cost will range between $300-$400 - this again depends on your habits. Try to avoid midnight snacks.
? Telephone/Internet (per month): This will range anywhere from $50-$100.
? Laundry (per month): It would be great if you could do on your own, but if you are too lazy, then this will cost you from $50-$70.
? ± $100 for other various expenses
