When it comes to the United Kingdom, I think everyone must have their own understanding of the United Kingdom. The famous gentleman's country, aristocratic culture, the British royal family, Xu Zhimo's goodbye Kangqiao, as well as the world's famous cambridge university, Oxford University, etc., the rich cultural heritage has attracted a group of overseas students to further study. So, for the price of goods in the United Kingdom, many overseas students will have questions, is the price of the United Kingdom very expensive? How much does it cost to spend on daily living expenses each month? How much does a month of rent cost? As we all know, London is known worldwide for its high prices as an international metropolis, but what about other cities outside of London? Today Xiaobian takes you into the real British life.
One coat
Regarding clothes, the clothes in the city center of various regions of the UNITED Kingdom are dazzling. In addition to the high luxury brands, popular clothing brands are not as expensive as imagined. T-shirts like New Look, Ck, Gap cost around 10 pounds, and down jackets in winter range from 20 pounds to 60 pounds. The chain brand Primark is even cheaper, with t-shirts ranging from 3 pounds to a lot, and even a 10-pound jacket in the discount season. When it comes to discount seasons, such as the Christmas holidays, branded clothes are discounted, Bicester Village Amani even has a 9-pound shirt, and Alipay has a UK shopping coupon.
Two food
People take food as the sky, and food prices in the UK have also become a concern for British students. Money is spent differently, and there are different ways to eat it.
Cook your own food at home and save a little about 100 pounds a month. Some of the food sold in large supermarkets in the UK is far below the domestic price, a bucket of 2 liters of milk is about 1 pound, a box of 10 chicken legs is only 3 pounds, a box of strawberries is only 1.5 pounds and so on. Many international students push the special cart to buy vegetables to the supermarket every time, and then do not buy vegetables for several days.
Occasionally go out to eat in the restaurant, the school canteen is about 5 pounds, the price of McDonald's is similar to that of the domestic one, the Chinese restaurant is about 7 pounds per person, and there is a takeaway software "Hungry Panda" that Chinese about 10 pounds for a single person. Usually go out shopping, milk tea 6 pounds, coffee 3 pounds, so about the price of eating, a lot of prices in the UK are far lower than in China.
Three live
Housing in London is very expensive compared to other cities. London studio apartments weigh 260 pounds a week, one bedroom and one living room 400 pounds a week, etc. Outside of London, such as Leicester, houses are shared at about 70 pounds a week, student apartments are 110 pounds a week, and studios are 150 pounds a week.
Four lines
Some students who pursue cars will choose to buy cars in the UK, and the price of used cars is generally cheap in the UK, and the 1,000-pound used BMW car on Facebook's used forum can be bought. There are no highway toll booths in the UK, and a Chinese driver's license can be used in the UK for up to a year.
Most students choose to walk to school, and Uber in the UK takes a few pounds by taxi during the day. About 2 pounds at a time on the bus, London will be relatively expensive, and international students in London will choose to buy a package ticket cheaper. Trains are generally 15 pounds between cities, and going to London will be more expensive, depending on the distance, of course. The London Underground is metered for miles, a flash card will be cheaper, and cash payment for tickets will be more expensive, from London airport to the city center 20 pounds.
Life in the UK is colorful, and you can experience the customs and customs of a foreign country while living a busy study life. The above prices are for reference only, the real consumption is determined according to the students' own consumption habits, some students like to travel abroad, do beauty card consumption and so on. While living in a foreign country, remember to keep your Own British Pass Brp, otherwise a Brp emergency is 1,000 pounds, and many international students will lose the lesson of brrp blood. I hope that every overseas student will let go of his or her dreams in the UK!
