The United Kingdom is home to many affordable student accommodations. However, the more you live in inner London, the more expensive your rent will be. One trick will be to live outside inner London and take the tube to school. Also, get an Oyster or Rail Card as it will be cheaper to travel. Or get your accommodations sooner, as spots fill up fast. The first year I lived in Hatfield (zone 9). I took the Overground to central London for school three times a week. In my 2nd and final year, I moved to Tottenham (zone 3). Although I paid more for rent than my previous year, the closer zone saved me time commuting to school, which was very important to me.
The United Kingdom has multiple things to do. They love Canadians; I found that randomly going up to people and asking a question at school, my accommodations, or outside help me make friends and build strong social bonds to help me in the future. Flying to the rest of Europe from the UK is very cheap; I have seen aeroplane tickets to Italy from the UK for 30£.
I studied every day, and because of this, most of my marks are firsts or high 2:1. Which would be equivalent to A and B+ in Canada. I made a strict study schedule, including in-person or online lectures. Takes notes, does my readings, takes notes from my readings. Then practice with the homework I was given. Then next class, I spoke and asked questions about topics in the readings I needed clarification on. I plan one month in advance for when to do all my note-taking, readings, homework, and breaks.
I am studying the 2-year LLB (Hons) Law Senior Status. The LLB (Hons) Law Senior Status is a specifically designed degree for students who already hold an undergraduate degree from Canada and want to convert to law study. It is compatible with the NCA as I currently want to become a qualified Lawyer in Canada. My course also offers Canadian classes, which, too, is beneficial. I was granted a bursary for being an international Canadian student.
Make friends there, do not be shy, go and talk to like-minded people. Get a part-time job. It will help with your finances. Book your tickets months in advance if you decide to fly back for the winter break. Most of all, have fun and study hard; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy it.
