Tips for Indian Students Applying to UCL

If you are planning to apply to UCL from India, here are the most important things to keep in mind:

Budget Smartly for London

While the UK student visa requires proof of £1,529/month for 9 months, real living costs for Indian students can be closer to £1,800–£2,200 per month.

• Consider student halls in your first year or shared housing in areas with affordable Indian food options (like Southall or Ealing).
• Expect 2.5-3.5 lakh INR per year on food; cooking at home saves a lot
• Use student discounts like an Oyster Card for transportation and part-time work (up to 20 hours/week) to help manage expenses.

Pro Tip: Check student accommodation in London to know more.

Understand Deposits & Visa Rules
