9.London isn't for everyone.Some promising students ignore it as an option.However,others jump at the chance without proper consideration.Student life in London is very different from campus life elsewhere.
The main issue for most students in deciding whether to study in the city is their sense of how much it will cost to live in the capital.It must be acknowledged that rental prices are the highest in the country,and students should be prepared for this even with the extra loan to offer.If you do your homework,then that is where the extra costs end.
If you keep your eyes open,student discounts are everywhere and many nightclubs run student nights during the week,with student unions ensuring expensive nightlife is never an issue.And if you feel like earning a bit of extra money,generally,part-time work is pretty easy to come by.
The transport network is good and generally affordable,especially with the Student Oyster photos-card,but the density of London means most journeys are possible on foot,and 24-hour buses ensure a night out that rarely requires a taxi.
A final benefit of the city for students,which is seldom considered by most until they actually arrive,is the power of London to connect people.London's status as a world city means employers,including banks such as HSBC,media companies Like BSkyB,publishers such as Penguin and every kind of business in-between,choose to locate their headquarters in London.
Many of these employers provide opportunities such as networking events and interview training,which are often advertised through London universities themselves,while internships,work experience and graduate schemes are all available within the city.
Of course when it comes down to personal preference,London is just one city on a long list of options,but before deciding,prospective students should try hard to find out the true reality in terms of the costs and benefits to them personally.
