University Life in the UK

1. Check if you need to register
Some foreign nationals are required to register with the police within seven days of landing in the UK. You'll need your passport, two passport pictures, and £34 in cash.
2. Buy a coat 
This might seem inane but as they say, the only thing predictable about British weather is it's unpredictability. Another way to combat the chill is to burn any shorts or sunglasses you've brought and warm your hands over the resulting fire...lol
3. Start an account
It's useful to have a UK bank account to enable you to pay bills and rent quickly and easily. You can get a basic bank account which will not give you credit but will enable you to get money from ATMs and make payments. Compare what the different banks offer at www.bba.org.uk.
4. Join the international society
Your university and student union will help if you're experiencing difficulties with your course or life in the UK. Your best resource, though, is your international society, which will have specific experience and understanding of your needs. Most run orienteering courses and social events, which are a great way to meet people. Find them via your institution's website or student union.
5. Learn more English
The academic English you'll be required to use in assignments is quite advanced. Institutions offer a range of courses, from free lunchtime tutorials to residential pre-sessional courses that cost £200-£300 a week.
6. Stay healthy
If you get a snivel, you've probably been gripped by a favourite in Britain: the common cold. Get rest, fluids and vitamins. If symptoms get worse, consult your local doctor. All treatment on the National Health Service is free if you're studying in the UK for six months or more. Information and advice is also available at www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk.
7. Stay in touch
Stay in touch with your family back home with a mobile plan that suites you right, social meadia and Skype. Skype has revolutionised international communication, offering free internet calls where you can speak to and wave at friends and family; download it at www.skype.com.
8. Don't be a victim
Generally, the UK is a safe and welcoming place for international students. Students can be a target for thieves though, so keep doors and windows locked if you go out; when you do, try to stay in groups and don't leave valuables on display.
You can call the emergency services on 999 free from any phone.
9. Get a job
Working part-time is a great way to earn cash and meet people. If you're from a country within the European Economic Area (EEA), you don't need permission to work in the UK. If you're from outside the EEA but on a full-time course of study, you can work up to 20 hours a week in term time and full-time during holidays.
10. Move around
Public transport in the UK is generally cheap and well-organised; student cards often get you a discount on buses. If you're in London, an Oyster card is essential. Black taxis can be hailed in the street; minicabs should be phoned to make sure they're legitimate. For travel around the UK, you can get a third of coach and train tickets with a student pass.

Pay close attention to these 10 basic survival steps for Uni. life in the UK and you will surely have yourself a splendid time.
