ENGLAND - Transport

Travelling to the exchange university: Is it better to book your travel with an agency or by your own means online? It's true that it is safer to book your travel with an agency, but you're going to have to pay fees in addition to your travel. By booking online, it is cheaper and still safe because you can have additional insurances to cover any problem (refund, loss of bagages, delay...). The best solution is to land in London and then either get an internal flight or a train. It can be useful to put an alarm and ask to be sent flight prices on Google flights or Kayak, or any other booking website because it'll warn you when the prices are at its lowest. Getting around in the country of destination: The average price for a transportation ticket is between £2 and £2.5 but you can get reduced prices if you have special cards (Oyster, Robin Hood card, an application...). Then there is the option of bike sharing: prices will depend on your area and on the company

UK - housing

First point of entry  Luthon then national express and finally we will be at Hatfield. We will take the plane then maybe uber or taxi at the airport. My own appartement vs roomates vs campus we looked at the different housing propositions and the cheapest is the own appartement but with a roomates. Inside the campus it's around 600 for a little room and you don't have your privacy. The own appartment without roomate is expensive if you desired bigger space. The most interesting is to have an own appartemnt but with a roomates since you will pay around 500 per person with good acomodation (around 1000). What's a lease like?  It depends on the renter. Generally it's the document that is legal and obligating the renter to all the terms and conditions. What is important to point out is the fact that you have a check caution that is you keep in a safe place. How to rent is different in each city and for each renter. It could be 2month paid in advance or just the recen
