Please dont get me wrong that i'm trying to discourage people to come and  study in UK but all I am trying to say is PLEASE, PLEASE AND PLEASE make sure you are not coming to study here so you can self finance your study by working, Its HARD my brothers and sisters, Its is VERY HARD!
I have been through abit of  it myself despite the fact I have got almost all my family around me and I was able to secure a job just 2weeks after I arrived in UK which was God(I got a job? I became(OYO) on your own, not total though)!
I saw my friends in college and they complained bitterly, some had to end their careers and resulted to alot of disgusting things.
Anyway, I was in some people shoes years ago when I  finished my National service and I was thinking of what next because I couldnt get a job in lagos, my dad gave me a token  to trat my self but I guess I didnt but put the few money into business in Ladipo which makes me feel comfortable at the time cos I was able to get myself a lil run around and i was fine until one day, a call came and the question was'' Do you want me to give you money to continue your business or you want to study abroad'' As anyone in my shoe dreaming of study in '' GREAT BRITAIN' will say YES,  How foolish was that!
its was foolish as i realised that despite all the support and effort coming from family i, It was still pretty difficult , what i'm tryig to say is, take away the support from it, Iwill be properly F****D(Excuse my French)
I really feel for these guys when I visit them sometime while we were in Uni, because the state of them are not pleasant at all. I thank God I did my part to help and some are doing great but what about those that arent?
Please look before you leap,
