Living expenses for studying in the UK outside London usually range from £900 to £1,200 per month, covering accommodation, food, transport, utilities, and personal expenses. Cities like Sheffield, Nottingham, and Cardiff tend to be more affordable. You can save by choosing shared housing, cooking at home, and using student discounts. Many universities also offer part-time work opportunities to help with costs.
