Life in UK
The lifestyle differs from country to country and each one has its own terms and conditions to follow with. Though UK has got the most admiring facilities in terms of communication, transport, health and accommodation yet it all depends on the student who actually breathes the study destination. There are varieties of options in terms of specific road construction and mode of travel.
Similarly, the rate of living expenses does vary on a large ground depending upon the area where the students reside.
On the same note many international students take the option of living in university campus and then the actual mode of accommodation preference is halls of residence, student houses and student flats.
UK Calling
Though there has been steady increase in the intake percent at various British universities yet the statistics don’t go with a well paid loop. Business secretary Vince Cable said, “There are lots of perception issues particularly in India where the message has got back that the British do not what overseas students. Numbers have fallen sharply and students have gone off to the States and Australia.” Yet it can’t be overlooked that UK remains the hot cake for students which can be perceived from the 1000s of applications wanting to fly their destination every year.
