university life in Britain In Britain, many university students live away from home. This gives them more freedom and the opportunity co meet lots of new people, but can also be difficult for some students who arc not used to being on their own and have never learnt co cook for themselves or even iron their clothes. In their first year, most students choose co live in student accommodation, which is sometimes on campus. After that, they tend to rent a flat or house with other students. Part of student life is about understanding the importance of managing your money carefully: tuition fees, loans you may have taken out, money for food, and payments you have co make for your living costs, for electricity, etc. For this reason, many students find part-time jobs. At university, you can often choose when you want to study, but you need co attend lectures, do your assignments on time, and plan your revision period before exams.
