How much will university in UK cost for 4 years?

Which UK university has the best tourist location?

  • I'm a student from NZ, and i have my heart set on going on an exchange to the UK, but i can't decide on which university to go to! I have never been to the UK, so being a "tourist", with limited knowledge on the people and lifestyle of the different locations in the UK, AND a student on tight finances, makes it difficult to make a properly informed choice. I have shortlisted: University of Glasgow, Manchester, Nottingham, Exeter and University College Dublin Being from such a young country compared to the UK, that has thousands of years of history, what i'm most looking forward to seeing is all the old architecture. The castles and various old buildings, like cathedrals etc...and perhaps the countryside and lakes. (But castles take first priority!) of course, my decision also needs to take into account, cost of accommodation, food, shopping...(necessities to enjoy student life) and, the people! From those above locations, which people are the friendliest? After all,...might get lost...first time there and all. And where is the easiest place to find a job too. (As i said before, student on tight finances.) Many Thanks!

I was going to say London - until I read "tight finances". Of the cities you mention I'd go for Manchester. Its central location and excellent transport links - including the busiest UK airport outside London - make it an ideal base for exploring the rest of the country. The city of Manchester itself has lots of things to see and do, plus it's also quite close to the Lake District and Peak District National Parks and the castles of North Wales. The beautiful Roman city of Chester is only an hour's train ride away too http://www.chesterimages.com/chester_1/primary/city_center.htm With 3 large universities in the area Manchester reportedly has the highest concentration of students in western Europe, so it's a great place to be a student!

Believe?

I'd recommend the University of Glasgow.

You could put Durham to your shortlist. Durham is in the North East of England and is a very historic city in its own right with castle and cathedral. Within 20 miles radius you have Newcastle upon Tyne and the Roman Wall which extended from Wallsend (near Newcastle) to the West Coast. 50 mile radius and you cover York,Barnard Castle and further out Bamburgh Castle (well preserved), Alnwick and Dunstanburgh. About 100-150 miles north is Edinburgh and the Scottish borders. To the south North Yorkshire and the lake district to the West. Have a good look around tourist info in Google. There's also the University of Northumbria which is situated in Newcastle itself. Wherever you end up I hope you enjoy your time in the UK. (By the way Dublin is in Eire which is not part of the UK)
