Money Matters
- Use air miles, coupons, or shop around for the best flight prices. Flights with 1+ stops to London Heathrow or Gatwick, or Birmingham International ranged between $900 and $1900 for summer 2022.
- Budget an average of $30 per day for food/entertainment ($1170). Students spent between $1000 & $1500 for food/entertainment in 2022. It depends on your habits- if you buy sandwiches and groceries and cook, you will spend less than if you eat out often. Weekend trips can range from low cost up to $1000+ depending on where you go and what you do.
- ATMs are available throughout the city of Oxford and the entire UK. Your bank may charge you a slight fee to use the ATM, but getting cash is fast and easy. Major credit cards are accepted in most shops. There is no need for travelers' checks.
- 20 meals are included in program fees. You will be responsible for remaining meals, but you do have full kitchen access for the final 4 weeks. Grocery stores and sandwich shops are within close walking distance of the college. A typical "sandwich deal" with a filled baguette, chips or fruit, and a drink is 3.33 GBP ($5.60). Several nice meals are included in your housing fees.
- Budget some money for weekend trips. You may want to book some in advance, but see the program director for suggestions. (Travel within the UK is very easy and can cost as little as $400 for a full weekend if you stay in hostels. A more average price is $700+ if you are taking a flight, long train journey, and staying in b & bs or hotels.)
