Live on campus if you are goin Uni or rent a 5 bedroom house with 5 other people and you have the sofa.

£11,500 after tax gives u a c.£15k pa job. 90% of people earning that kinda money will be in debt all their life in UK! To study here and Earn £14,350 before tax means u gotta do 37hrs a week for at least £7p/hr. Not trying to put you off but you will be exhausted by the time you finish.

My last highest paying job was £15 per hour. Take home was aroung £25k per year. Average wage for strugglers. Students should be on £15p/hr to live comfy student lifestyle. Fuck it!! come over and post to say u r here, i will get u sellin ganja on campus.
Hot damned man! I guess it's not worth pursuing then. Maybe if I become a regular Chemist (pharmacist for us yanks), I'd be able to live comfortably. It's not too discouraging, but I guess I will definately need a degree before I go there.

How's the wages and rent in Essex?

And yeah I would probably sell ganja in the UK. What's the penalties like for doing that over there? I'd totally go for it if I knew it'd be cool. Otherwise, I guess I'd be deported if caught...

Anyone wanna rent a flat with me?? :rasta: Or does anybody have any resources for looking for a place to live, besides craigslist?

I'm considering the following cities;
*manchester,
*essex (epping area)
*wales
IanCurtisWishlist Reviewed by IanCurtisWishlist on . Moving/Studying in the UK Hey, I'm exploring career options and I am considering moving to the UK to pursue a career as a Pharmacy Technician. I have a few questions about the cost of living. Could one comfortably live off of roughly 11,500 GBP per year and rent their own flat or apartment? I don't live a lavish lifestyle, I just want to live in the London or surrounding area... in my own private space. How do you cross the channel to get to Amsterdam from the UK? Does the train go into France, and then up Rating: 5
