England is far more expensive than Italy...It will cost a lot, but it's worth doing because a degree in Ox4d has actually helped me getting a good - well paid - job. Take it as an investment, but try to get a grant. Plan an overall expense of ab. 18-19K Euro.

The US dollar is extremely weak in comparison with the British pound, so everything in the UK costs about double what it would in the USA.

If you're going to travel in the UK and will be here for more than 6 months, buy a Young Persons Railcard. It costs £20 for the year and gets you a third off of any ticket. Also, buses are a bit slower, but considerably cheaper. Don't shop for all of your groceries at a Sainsbury Local or Express or at Marks and Spencer. Try to find a Co-op or Tesco. For toiletry and household items try Superdrug before Boots. Always ask if a store gives a student discount (clothing stores, restaurants, and hair salons included).

Britain is generally overpriced; as a general rule living expenses are 20 % above Eurozone equivalent; accommodation in Oxford is about 50% above Berlin standards (my hometown).

Because the exchange rate is severely restricting on the American Dollar.

The exchange rate wasn't good for the dollar while I was in England. Along with this I just splurged in general knowing what a great experience it was and that I needed to take advantage of it.
