Living costs outside London for Bangladeshi students
The money spent on living in a specific area is called living
expenses. Here include accommodation, food, transport costs, utility
bills, etc. The UK is a developed country and the cost of living
here is also much higher. Especially international students have to
struggle to cope with this price.
There is a high tendency among young people in Bangladesh to study
abroad. Young people in particular want to go to
the UK. Here is mentioned living costs outside London. So that students
can prepare themselves financially before studying abroad.
Living expenses for international students outside London
London is the capital of the UK. So the cost of living here is also
very high. However, the cost is comparatively lower in cities
outside the capital. Below are the details of the living costs
outside London:
On-campus undergraduate living costs
If you are an undergraduate student and live on campus, your living
expenses will be slightly lower. Because your institution will not
charge you any unnecessary fees. Even then, the amount you will have
to spend each year is £5,000–£6,000.
On-campus postgraduate living costs
Postgraduate students in the UK are likely to pay slightly more than
undergraduate students. The average cost of living on campus is
around
£5,500–£6,500 per year. However, it is best to consult with
the institute and the Bangladeshis living there regarding this
matter. Then you can make an appropriate decision when it comes to
budgeting.
Living costs in private accommodation
Naturally, the cost of living in private accommodation will be
higher. However, there are two ways to live in private
accommodation. Number 1 is sharing a room and the other is living
alone in a room or house. The details of this matter are mentioned
below.
Costs of room-sharing
Before renting a house, you should look at which area has the lowest
costs. Then, the roommate will have to be decided based on the rent
of the house that will be rented. Sharing a room like this greatly
reduces the cost of living. In such a condition you have to spend
£7,000–£7,500 annually.
How much does it cost to live alone?
The cost of living alone is high in any country. The UK is no
exception. Your cost of living will depend on which city you are in
and what kind of apartment you are renting. Even then, it can be
said that living alone in any city in the UK will cost a minimum of
£8,000–£9,000
Council tax
Council tax
is a special tax that homeowners and tenants have to pay to the
council. By paying this tax, the council provides various services
to citizens. Such as keeping the city clean, any emergency services
and security services, etc. However, as a Bangladeshi
student, you will need to discuss
with the locals whether you will have to pay this tax. If you don't
have to pay it, then your expenses have decreased a bit.
Cost of internet
Nowadays, it is difficult to live without the internet. And the
internet is essential for students. Without it, it would be very
difficult to study and research. So,
when using internet service, you need to check carefully what the
speed will be and what the package is. And how many pounds you have
to pay as an internet bill per month depends on the speed, package,
and service provider. However, if you want, you can talk to someone
who uses a router. In this case, your monthly internet bill will be
much lower.
Where is money spent?
Here are the sectors where you will have to spend pounds when you go
to the UK. Usually, these are five.
House rent
Food cost
Transport cost
Utility bill
Personal expenses
