I am a fresh graduate that's going to work in Somerset and live in Bristol in September. Would it be possible to live in student style houses even though I am no longer a student? if no, what are some cheap places that are popular for students and young p^rofessionals please?
Thank you!
I'm moving into a flat in Bristol this weekend. I was wondering if anyone could give me a rough idea of what my water and electricity bills roughly might come to. It's just me living in a two bedroom flat. I'm at work during the day Monday to Friday so just at home evenings and weekends.
thanks
There is a possibility that my wife and I will be moving over from South Africa. We are both in the medical field.I am an Orthotist and She is a physiotherapist. I would imagine we will both be on similar salaries of about 30K plus a year. Where would be a nice place to live and at what cost are we looking at. Bearing in mind I will be posted at the hospital. Any advice on places to stay, transport options etc etc would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance.
Sean
And what quality of live would I expect with that salary.
Cheers!
You would probably need another source of income unless you have a rent-free place to stay.
I want to apply for a scholarship in Bristol University. The grant amount is 800 euros (about 600 GBP) per month. It would be enough? Or I need to have another source of income?
Thanks
