    Default University of Westminster.

    The course I want to do requires BBB. I should hopefully get that, anyway, here is a map and in yellow where I would be studying and have my halls of residence. I have circled in red some famous places in London.

    Its also in the 'SW1' post code area, the most expensive in the country, do you think it will be 'expensive' to live there?

    So ye, the nearest green space is Hype Park, the most famous in London?
    Most famous neighbour, the monarch

    A flat would probably be expensive, isn't there accomidation in the university?
    That's why we seize the moment, try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and hold it cause we consider these minutes golden.

    There is some around the that area for students, but I mean like general living costs.

    You would probably have to look about the agencies which provide or display student housing, usually it depends on the quality of the housing and the landlord's own pricies.

    some of the university of westminster halls of residence are right next to the metropolitan line haah i went past there earlier.

    i was in westminster today, and you dont really have a cost of living, you're a student not a home owner. but in general prices will probably be a little more than the rest of the country just because of its location.

    Ye, I'm not bothered about like rent costs of what ever, but food, night life, general shops etc. I've been there loads but not enough to actually know the real prices of things around the area to know if it would be expensive or what not. Thanks anyway cocaine

    I;d be honest the place is expensive then again its in the centre of the Capital, well next to it and Oxford st is were the big shops and businesses are based at. So food costs will be expensive depending where your buying from, Most people i guess in that area tend to do shopping online as it is easier and dropped right outside your campus door, and yet its the same price for everyone so you wouldnt have to worry. Nightlife can be expensive depending what type of clubs u wanna go to. e.g the penthouse in lecister sq known to be one of the top clubs in london is priced around 10-15 per person and drinks there are so expensive then again that is an amazing club. You got alot on option such as tourist attractions, restaurants, and bars. Its such a diverse society and westminister is were all people come to see the london eye so you will find yourself welcomed by so many people. Travel costs are as normal as all around london so you wouldnt have to worry there. Black cabs are only the expensive thing around there.

    You live in London right Joe? Just go from home First year Halls obviously but then on you're better off at home. I know what your thinking, don't want to stay at home, but it's a lot cheaper and easier. I'm a hypocrit because I'm definently not staying at home as my parents are doing my head in but yeah.
