Ex. 6. Here is a at-a-glance guide LIVING IN LONDON (after STUDY UK). 
Population: 10,000,000 Students: 70,000 
Accommodation(All prices approximate) 
College-owned catered: £72 per week 
College-owned self-catering: £35 – £37 per week 
One simple rule – if you are offered college-owned accommodation, take it. For 
what you get (usually a single room with shared cooking facilities), university rooms 
are excellent value for money, and for students based in central London, living in 
halls is the only way they will be able to afford to live within easy distance of col-
lege. For self-catering students, the shared kitchen is the focal point of daily social 
life, another plus point for overseas students looking to settle in and make friends at 
the larger colleges. 
Private: £ 60-£70 per week (central); £40+ further out 
Private-sector landlords usually ask for a month’s rent as a deposit and a 
month’s rent in advance. Even for a reasonably priced room, this can mean having to 
find around £400 before you can move in. The University of London operates an ac-
commodation service that matches cheap, clean rooms with students unable to get a 
place in halls of residence. Other colleges operate similar schemes. 
Prices vary according to location – in general, the more central the room, the 
more expensive the rent. Unless you are very lucky (or very rich), you can forget 
about anywhere very central. Further out, it is considerably cheaper, but you will still 
pay at least £40 per week for a room. The London Evening Standard newspaper has 
the most comprehensive listing of rooms to let – unfortunately, it is also the most 
widely read, so rooms have been often let by the time you have called the landlord. 
Local weekly newspapers such as the Ham & High or the Ealing Gazette can be 
good alternative sources of accommodation listing.
