What accommodation is available?

Your accommodation options are:

			a hall of residence at the university or college
			accommodation with a family
			a privately rented flat - either on your own or sharing with one or more people

See UKCOSA Guidance Notes: Accommodation for International Students.

You can also try the Student Village to search for private accommodation. For accommodation in London check Hosts International or Britannia Student Services.

Can I work while I am a student in the UK?

What about health insurance?

Slovene students in the UK have free treatment from the National Health Service (NHS).

As soon as you arrive in the UK, you should register with a doctor. Many universities and colleges have their own health centre. If not, register with a doctor near where you live.

You will also receive your dental treatment at a reduced rate. When registering with a dentist, make sure they accept NHS patients: most dentists only accept private patients.

What about student life at UK institutions?

As a student in the UK you are automatically a member of the National Union of Students (NUS). The Students’ Union organises a large number of social events for students, and runs restaurants, bars and shops. It also provides other important services for its members such as a welfare and advice service and information about discount travel for students.
