KING’S Choice | Living Costs
London offers a huge choice
of ways in which to enjoy your
free time and spend your money,
whatever your interests.
It is difficult to be exact about
students’ living expenses as it
depends on what you choose to
do. London can be expensive, but
with over 15% per cent of the total
UK student population living in
London, the capital offers a huge
range of student discounts to help
you get the best out of London
on a student budget.
You need to budget
sufficient funds for your fees,
accommodation, food, travel,
books and other living expenses.
The table below gives an
approximate guide to the funds
required to live in reasonable
comfort in London for each of the
teaching sessions listed.
COUNCIL TAX EXEMPTION
If you have dependent children,
we recommend that you add
a further £2,500 per child.
In the case of a property solely
occupied by full-time students
who are joint tenants, they are
all liable for a nil council tax bill,
provided they have all sent in
their exemption certificates.
Students eligible for a Council
Tax Exemption Certificate must
be enrolled on a full-time course
(normally defined as a course
requiring attendance for at least
21 hours a week for at least 24
weeks each year).

MANAGING YOUR MONEY
We recommend you start planning
how you will manage your money
before you start university. If you
have never lived away from home
or created a budget before, one
of our Student Advisers will be
able to help you.
If you have a budget outlining
your income and can control your
expenses, you should be able to
minimize the risk of running out
of money. This will also ensure

However, the certificate
does not affect the liability of
everyone over 18 in the property
to pay council tax. Where a
student lives in a property with
non-students a council tax bill
will be issued; although legally
full-time students cannot be held
liable for any amount of council
tax, non-student housemates
may expect a contribution.
Where a student lives with only
one non-student they will receive
a 25 per cent discount for the
property.

Student Loan for Fees
In 2014-15 most home and EU
full-time undergraduate students
will not have to pay tuition fees
whilst studying, unless you wish to.
