Recent research has indicated that London is one of the most expensive cities to live in. However, students need not worry unnecessarily about the cost of living in this great city since it will all depend on individual lifestyle. Experience has shown that most students are sensible and tend to be reasonable and economical in their spending habits. As a result, the average student may not find study in London beyond his/her means as sometimes portrayed in press reports.
