It is cheaper to buy either a monthly or weekly pass which can be bought from most newsagents and underground stations. Books Course books tend to cost around 15 to 30 each. However, you will have access to the university library and there a numerous second-hand book shops throughout London, including two near to the university.
Many students sell their old books each year.
Clothing Clothes can be bought cheaply in London, although of course you can also find very expensive shops such as the designer clothes stores on Bond Street. A warm coat or raincoat will cost between 40 to 150 from a high street shop, but from a charity shop or a market you would pay between 5 to 7. If you are planning to study for less than 6 months and you not a member of the European Economic Area you are strongly advised to take out health insurance for the period of your stay as treatment can be expensive.
