Living costs
Leicester has been recognised as one of the UK's most affordable student destinations. How much you spend will vary according to your lifestyle. Students applying for a Student Visa will be required to demonstrate that they have money for any course fees, plus £1,023 for living costs each calendar month of your course.

Accommodation
There is a wide variety of rooms available through our University halls of residence. We recommend that you choose University accommodation, although there are private providers in Leicester which you could also consider.
Bus pass
There's a regular, dedicated bus service between The Village and the University campus, so it's nice and easy to get to and from your lectures and the library. Passes are free for students staying in The Village accommodation.
