Studying and Living in Britain

EEvery year 100,000 foreign students arrive in Britain. There are even more long-stay visitors traveling on business and as tourists. For all of them here is an essential book of information. If studied and heeded, the detailed advice will help to make Britain accommodating and pleasurable during the long visit. How to make necessary arrangements for residence, how to get used to the people and the country, and how to make the most of time spent in Britain are among the useful topics clearly discussed here. Also given careful attention are immigration requirements, procedures for arriving in Britain, living accommodations, financial and legal matters, health information, student life (both studying and leisure), useful addresses, sources of advice, student hostel addresses, and preparations to return home. Produced by the British Council, the acknowledged world-wide center of information about Britain abroad, the book covers every essential subject, from the basics of health and medical insurance and finding the right college courses, to important everyday activities such as using British telephones and going shopping. All these are discussed simply, directly, and beneficially for an international readership. The British Council, with offices in most countries and major cities of the world, has long been established as the authoritative source for information about Britain.
