Student Life

What living in United Kingdom is actually like

Most students live in halls of residence in their first year — a mix of catered and self-catered options — before moving into shared houses with friends. University towns have a lively students' union and society culture, and with such a large Indian student community, you'll rarely feel far from home comforts.
