    • @meerakaneria
      @meerakaneria  8 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Yess... incase you are getting accomodation in university... I think you have to. But if you are getting with live-in landlord then no... you just need to pay the one rent as a security deposit and the other one in advance...
      The security one gets adjusted in the last month as whole.

      Glad you found it helpful. Well, no you do not have to pay water and gas bills if living in box room.
      Everything is included in rent. So it's just one fix amount you pay and that's it for a month.

      Can you please tell me which university to choose

      @meerakaneria  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Well, I haven't checked the current ranking. Hence, I would suggest you check the rankings if you are confused about which to choose?
      Well, in the UK, it rarely matters from which uni you does the course, as the hiring managers won't give much credit to university fame and name... instead, the transferable skills you possess that can prove to be an asset to the company.
      Hope that helps :)

    • @garygeorge-wi7co
      @garygeorge-wi7co 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Sheffield would be better in ranking and cheaper for cost of living, but when it comes to part time jobs, Greenwich would be better as that is in London. Sheffield will still have part time jobs but they are limited in numbers compared to London.

      So yeah you can calculate the rent and cost of living accordingly. Hope that helps!

    Sis i have a question..if someone a professional e.g a fresher CA is earning 52000 a year does it mean that his net pay would be approximately 35628 after applying 40% on his taxable income? ... Does it really work like that isn't it too much tax? Just wondering if people are living like this or they are paying less taxes e.g if companies compensate them..

    • @meerakaneria
      @meerakaneria  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hello!
      Tax is mostly charged according to the salary band in the UK.
      For example, if you earn around below 40K per year, then it's 20% of your total salary,
      If it's between 40K - 60K, it's 30% and so on...
      Have a look at the UK government website for updated tax rate on salary.
      Hope that helps 🙌🏻🌟

      Bt if you plan to come here only for studies and don't mind to go back to country and work if you don't get it in UK then yes, it's the best to get education...

      London has strong transport system, hence no matter where you live you would get buses and undergrounds or trams.
      In terms of cheapest, as you go far from central London, rates of accomodation decreases. And if you like in outskirts, try to find the accommodation in Zone 4/5 where rent would be cheap and it's easy to travel to central London from there.

      Hi!
      I would say instead of me suggesting you uni, you find it yourself by filtering out things such as the course, your budget, the place, etc..
      Mostly, all universities in the UK are public uni, so the chances are that courses would be mostly similar, and the only thing that matters is it should fit in your budget and the background of faculty who is going to teach you.
