Hello, this comes from a 12th grade student who will study in the UK next year with luck and hard work, or at least I have such hopes. I panicked, not about whether they would accept me, not about the nostalgia I would feel, but about what was going on around the world after all. Money, money, money. My question is how much is living expenses for a student, what will be absolutely mandatory to take (I know a funny or sad story about a girl who had no blankets when she arrived in her room and caught a cold) or what to do in bg not to do it in England. Some tips like something that can help me a lot and make my life easier will be very helpful. Thanks in advance for your attention;)

You don't need a lot of luck or hard work to go to the UK - they generally take anyone who goes there.
In order to be accepted to study in England, you must have a high diploma and a good knowledge of English. When you go there, you will study the language hard for a year, and then you will start learning what you have been chosen for. And there is time for the rest. :) Good luck and I hope they accept you! Britain is one of the best countries!
Why didn't you write the story directly in English, and you're torturing us with no language at all - half Bulgarian, half English?
Hahahaah, haters as much as you want! First and foremost - arrange where you will live! For the first year I recommend a hostel - there are far fewer quarrels than renting a private home. Research the dormitories very well and apply for them in time - even at the very beginning when they open for applications! In most of them, the bills are included in the rental price and so you pay once and you know that everything is settled. There are sites where you can order duvets and kitchen utensils, which are delivered directly to your room, so you will not have to drag them from here, because they take up a lot of space. I was late with this order and slept 2 nights without blankets - consider the jacket as a pillow and the towel as a blanket. ; D Don't die, calm down! See if there are any of the big supermarket chains near you - there are great offers. There was Tesco next to us and the food was by no means more expensive than in Bulgaria. Be sure to study your route very well - exactly at which stop to get off, to cross. Even have printed cards if you're not sure. Already in Bulgaria, be sure to apply for a health card - this is if you need emergency medical care and it is very nice to have it or at least insurance. (but it's expensive anyway) And please, the first week don't do trivial things - leave the laundry for another time, eat sandwiches instead of pretending to be Chef Manchev in the kitchen and wasting time and SOCIALIZE! It may be a little scary, but finding friends makes life much easier and you will learn valuable information much faster.

Виж сега. Аз съм тук над 5 години. Не мога да ти дам съвет от студентска гледна точка, но мога от живеещ. Значи много зависи града, надявам се, че ще те приемат в Шотландия или на север от Лондон. Там разходите са поне 1/3 по-малко. Аз живея в момента сам в 2 bedroom house в малко градче, в Мидландс. Плащам около 400-420 наем, 90 кансъл такс, 30-50 според сезона ток и гас, 20 Интернет, 12 вода, 250-300 пиене и ядене, като аз 2-те ми седмици почивка не падам под 25 за алкохол, това са 40-45 кена бира. Разход около 850-900. Но това е много и е за сам човек в къща. За студент в общежитие и без много екстри, смятам че едни 600 на месец до към 700 биха били ОК. Ако успееш да си намериш някоя парт тайм работа за 15-20 часа, ще си ги избиваш разходите и си Just fine! :-) Успех!
I agree with comment number 1, of my classmates only the dumbest and richest went there .. look, you will need a lot of money now :)
It depends in which part of the UK you will study - in London I heard that it is very expensive, mostly because of the price of housing and transport. If you can find a hostel for the unit - best, at least for now. The good thing is that from this year you do not need a dumb yellow card to work part-time, you are entitled to up to 20 hours a week as a student, which is still good. Otherwise, it is a fact that there are ordinary Bulgarians who have somehow pushed themselves there, but don't worry about that! You go for yourself: to get a good education, to see the world, to meet people from different cultures, to gain different experiences. Nobody said that you should only hang out with Bulgarian students, it is even not recommended, because they have a habit of closing themselves in some communities and in the end it is as if they have not lived abroad at all, a very pathetic picture ...
