By Paulina Guerrero Gutiérrez, KCL Mexican Society President, 2014-2017 (Spanish on the second half) This is a question that we have had a lot recently. Finding a place to rent is complicated, especially if you’re still not on the actual city in which you are looking to rent. Just as in my last post, I can share my own experience. by Paulina Guerrero Gutiérrez, KCL Mexican Society President 2014-2017 Last modified September 19, 2017 (Spanish on the second half) DISCLAIMER: Be aware that UK immigration policy changes constantly. We keep up to date on these changes, but strongly encourage you to check for any recent changes here. Let me tell you about my own experience. I am by no means a certified advisor, which I encourage you to visit (most UK universities have immigration counsellors and they don’t charge you), but I can tell you about my own experience with my two visa requests, one for my MA and one for my PhD. This post only covers the money bits. I have recently written a new one with all the basics about how to get the visa. Check it out here. Fortunately, like most Mexicans students that come to the UK, I have funding (a CONACyT scholarship). This made everything easier. When I started my MA, however, I only had a partial scholarship, so I had to prove more money. This can be pretty tricky, because the British government doesn't just accept anything you’d think is enough. |
