Personal comments
Not really, I looked into it very carefully before I left. It is easy to keep track of your money, not in detail but just write down what you spend and when.

Academic
Course recommendations
Coming from Sweden I'm used to studying a course at a time. It is important to consider before you start how you think that you will react to few lecture hours a week and do severall courses at once. It is too easy to leave it all too late!!
I chose to not interact with other international students, however there are a lot of them in Leeds and if you want to meet students from other parts of the world it's easy as pie, just keep an eye open for what is going on at the international centre, also the was an Erasmus society at the union. These are also good ways of meeting English students that have been or plan to go abroad studying.

I ended up spending more because the exchange rate made it more expensive. Otherwise the actual price tag on items was very similar to the United States.

Traveling within Europe and the UK was much cheaper than purchasing all of the flights beforehand in the United States.
