Hello,
I’ve been accepted to UAL, Chelsea college of Arts to study the MA Fine art degree and am planning to move to London a couple of weeks before my studies (which start in September) so as to properly open a bank account and take out my postgraduate student finance loan so as to help pay my tuition.

The issue is, although I will have saved up enough (in addition to the loan) to be able to cover tuition, I have absolutely no funds for living expenses. I have applied for scholarships and am waiting for the outcome. If I were to receive one, that would help immensely.

However, I have to think about what I am to do if I will not receive a scholarship. Of course, I’ll need to find part-time work, but I’ll only be able to do that once I set up my national security number.
For context, I am a British citizen, but have been residing in Europe for the past ~15 years.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone may suggest any (realistically) cheap accommodation options in London.
Thank you for your input in advance :D

Hello,

I am aware my question indicates my high levels of anxiety that are often unfounded, yet I just need to make sure I haven’t done any damage.
I cleaned my charger cable (the metal bit that inserts into the charging port) With a scented tissue. Scented tissues, as we know, contain oil-based perfumes such as menthol oils and so on. They are also washing machine resistant, apparently.

Now, although my phone continued to charge normally and I can’t see any residue physically, do you think I could have damaged My charging cable or phone charging port long-term? The phone I own is the iPhone 16, if that makes any difference.

Thank you for your time!
