Some of the leading countries to study abroad are also the most expensive ones. A semester abroad in England, and especially London, are both at the top of many students' study abroad wish lists -- and the top of pricey places to live. In 2012, London was ranked the 25th most expensive city to live in.
According to the website Study in England, depending on where you live (and how comfortably), a single student's weekly budget (including rent) can be estimated at $370 USD. But rent won't be your only expense -- lets look at how much a semester in England might cost you.
Particular things to note about the costs of studying abroad in England:
Most residents in the UK have to pay a council tax, usually around $40 per week. However, full time students are exempt.
Even as an exchange student, you can opt for student housing or look for student accommodation. UniPlaces is one place to look. It's a better deal.
Monthly transit passes are usually a better deal. They are also convenient, save you time getting around town, and students almost always get special discounts.
