I speak okayish French and German, but the problem is that if I went abroad I would get no student finance, so would still struggle as I'd have no loan.

In Groningen we have some studies in English, for example the one I'm going to do (InternationalRelations&InternationalOrganization), which consists of politics partially.


Funnily enough, that's the course I was looking at from Groningen Pfft

How much does it tend to cost in living expenses - accommodation, food etc - to study there? Just asking because the fees are only £1,500 a year I think so if those are low then it might be an option. Looking at £15,000-£20,000 a year here for fees and cost of living, so even without a student loan going abroad seems more attractive Smile

I'm not sure, since I'm living at home. In Groningen, a room is €400 (appr. £320) p/m on average. Price levels are about the same in the UK I believe. Tuition is indeed about £1500 per year. Which reminds me I still have to pay that Grin

But yeah, it would be nice if we'd be doing the same thing Smile

Awesome. You should really come to Groningen Pfft

Lots of foreigners anyway, I think. Though haven't looked at it in-depth yet, I'll likely study there from 2015 too.

£320 p/m is unbelievably cheap compared to the UK. Looking at the living expenses on the Groningen website I'd need about £8,500 a year which is less than fees here - and I'd qualify for a loan to cover tuition fees, plus if I was working enough I'd qualify for student finance. So I'll definitely consider it. Smile

you have to pay £320 in the Nederlands for your room? is this right?
if yes, then i'm happy to live in good old germany where my room is 195€ or £156,31. Pfft at least it'll be in 3 weeks, when i'll start studying...

You pay about £100-£125 a week at most UK universities. So yes, the Netherlands is cheap - need to have a look at Germany if it's that cheap though Wink

It can be cheaper in Groningen than the 400. Some quick research taught me a room can be available for under €250p/m. Still more expensive than in Germany, but then you do live in Groningen instead of Germany Pfft

Got my results today for AS Level - for the non-UK people it's the exams you do before you apply for university which kind of give universities an idea of if you'll meet their entry requirements next year. Got 3 A's and a B, which I'm delighted with seeing as I need 3 A's for the courses I've looked at. Now to start applying Smile


Well done!! I got an unconditional offer in March for university, and then didnt revise enough so i basically failed mine...

Whereabouts are you studying, if you don't mind me asking? Also, is that a WG or Students "Wohnheim"? And how big is your room?

We have exams in May/June and results in August. We apply for Uni in January with up to 5 choices, choose which offers (grades required for entry set by universities) - from the universities that decide to make them from the 5 - to be our Firm and Insurance choices and then find out if we get in on results day if we meet the grade.
