RonaldJAY:
Goodmorning people,To those that can give possible advices and suggestions.Are there job links or groups were certain kinds of job offers are being advertised specifically for T4 holders in UK?

What kind of job are easily available for students?As a postgraduate student,can one scout for professional job related to his/her course?

I have been hearing something about getting a police report and driving school stuff immediately one enters UK,can someone one explain or throw more light on that alongside the advantages?

Is there anyone here around colchester,Essex that can help in getting accommodation off campus?i have heard a lot of accommodation links ranging from RIGHTMOVE and etc but am abit scared of paying for something online that i haven’t seen either.can anyone give an advice even though i opted for school accommodation for the mean time.

1. Check glassdoor, Reed, indeed and LinkedIn. You can also check the high street stores for part time job openings.
2. What jobs you get are dependent on your skills, your interests and how well you sell yourself to the recruiters. Yes, you can scout for a job but you can't take a full time job, most professional jobs would require full time or more than 20 hours.
3. If your course doesn't require a police report, you don't need it. If you won't be working with children and vulnerable people or in very sensitive positions, you also won't need it.
For driving, it's up to you. If you choose to drive in the UK, you should work towards it but I really don't see the need for it except driving is very essential for you. This is because the overall UK transportation is okay and the costs of getting and maintaining a car (tax, insurance, tax e.t.c.) might dent your pocket if your finances are not so robust.
You can apply for your provisional driver's licence (£34 for online application) pending when you're ready for your theory and practical tests; you'd need to send in your BRP to DVLA along with the form that will be sent to you after applying online. You can also use the provisional DL as proof of address instead of carrying utility bills around each time you need a POA but you'd need to update your address with DVLA for an updated licence each time your address changes.
4. You don't have to pay online. Pay only after physically inspecting the apartment.

Yes. This is probably due to the fact that I did priority. I'm still at "Application received by DMC"
