Thanks pixie. I am thinking of living in University accommodation only. When my parents come, I think they can stay in the univ. guest houses.

Dear wallsonfire,

Thank you so much for your advice and bringing me face to face with the ground reality.

About accommodation, I would like to have a 2 bedroom flat as my parents would like to visit me from time to time over 3 years. Could you please tell me the amount of rent I should expect to pa out? Can a furnished 2 BR flat be had under GBP 900? (incl. water and electricity). Thanks

Hi, I have an offer of a fully funded PhD from a UK university. Standard stipend of 13590 GBP is included. My question is that as an international student, will I be reimbursed expenses like air fare, visa fees etc. Of course, I can ask this directly to the University but before that want to know your opinion. Thanks.

Thanks. I hope they do not ask me to pay the difference.

Please help me on this. I am freaking out!

Hi,
I have received a PhD studentship offer from a UK university. I am from Sri Lanka. The funding information states that it covers
"tuition fees and a stipend of 13590 GBP and it is open to students from all countries."

I am awaiting the formal offer letter. I am a little tense that can the university ask me to pay the difference in tuition fees for EU students and international students? If they do, I wont be able to afford it....:-(

Can someone please help me in understanding this.... Please
