Question 1

Is London good for students?

Accepted Answer

London is a young, internationally cultural city and can provide amazing student experiences. In 2024, the QS Best Student Cities ranked London as the best student city in the world for the sixth consecutive year with six factors considered: the ranking of a city's universities, student mix, desirability, employer activity, affordability and student views.

Question 2

Is London expensive for students?

Accepted Answer

London is one of the most expensive cities in the UK to live in, so naturally it will be more expensive for students too. Planning ahead with finances is a great way to ensure you're making the most of your student loan.

Question 3

How much is a student travel card in London?

Accepted Answer

A travelcard gives you unlimited travel on public transport in the zones it is valid for, but prices differ with the more zones you open up for yourself. Prices for an annual pass start at £1,708. Utilising a 16-25 railcard can help to reduce prices.

Question 4

What happens after clearing?

Accepted Answer

Congratulations! You’ve got a place on a course through clearing and you’re going to university; but what happens next?

Well, the first thing you need to do is accept the offer of study sent to you by the university. You’ll need to do this via UCAS. Once this is done and it’s all confirmed, you’ll also need to let your student finance provider know if there are any changes to your original application, such as a change in the university you’re attending, the course you’re studying, and the length of the course.

It’s also important that you find and confirm your accommodation. Options for last minute accommodation can be limited, so let us help you take away the stress. At Student Roost, we have accommodation in 21 UK cities. Upgrade your student living and become a part of our student community.
