Maxicon: Depends on how far or close you want to be to either work (if you're there for work) or uni. The very bad areas are luckily quite far from both the centre and the universities. Best bet is open rent, spare room or gum tree. Do not pay for viewings or pay a holding deposit before doing any viewings. 1 Like |

Hello all. Can someone please help? I have an urgent decision to make. Where is the best area to live considering jobs and affordable housing. I need to choose between Bristol, Glasgow, Bradford, Birmingham and middlesbrough. I am tilting more towards Bradford because it is cheap, but I heard it is rural and unsafe. Please help. Thank you |

LagosismyHome: If your wife switches to a 3 Undergraduate programme, will this one make sense? Can one be an undergraduate student's dependent? Do under grads get PSW? If on a 2 yr Msc, can one be a dependent after she has been my own dependent? Been thinking about these options for a while now |

hustla:Scene 1 Spouse 1 : MSc 1 or 2 years, PSW 2 Years Spouse 1 : PhD 4 years Total : Minimum 7years Spouse 2: MSc 1 or 2 years, PSW 2 years Total 10years = ILR Scene 2. Spouse 1 : MSc 1 or 2 years, PSW 2years Spouse 2: MSc 1 or 2 years, PSW 2 years Spouse 1 can hustle for TIER 2 during study and hope to get one before Spouse 2 PSW comes to an end. If TIER 2 doesn't show up, Proceed to PhD. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

AirBay: Thanks for the analysis, may your days be long For this scene 1 Scene 1 Spouse 1 : MSc 1 or 2 years, PSW 2 Years Spouse 1 : PhD 4 years Total : Minimum 7years Spouse 2: MSc 1 or 2 years, PSW 2 years Total 10years = ILR Can Spouse 1 also go on another MSc instead of PhD? For instance, -Initial MSc (2yrs + 2 yrs PsW) 2nd MSc = (1 yr + 2 yrs PsW) Total = 7 yrs - Spouse 2, Msc (2 yrs +2 yrs PSW) Total = 4 yrs Can it also work this way? |

ModelLook: Looking at the scenario you stated i will suggest that you think long and hard before coming to the UK. To be able to pay remaining tuition fees , rent, bills and feeding you need to be making about £1500 a month at least Minimum wage is £8.91 ph and not £10 as you stated though some companies pay £10. I suggest you come with your fees and maintenance money for the first one year then take your time to work and raise money for second year 2 Likes |

It is not easy to work and pay for that amount of money considering you are allowed to do only 20hrs per week except during the holiday. Even people with full time job struggleto save that amount per year. In addition, applying for graduate jobs is like full time job if you are determined to get a job. Most people that get good jobs are usually students that have time to apply. There is also the likelihood that you will not be able to work for the first few weeks/month as you will still be adjusting. It is better you have your tuition and only hustle for living expenses, if at all you have to ModelLook: 2 Likes 1 Share |
