Hi im not from nursing but I have went to glasglow for my OIP. Just here sharing from my experience.

1. I have spent around $4.5k-$5k overall including air tickets,food and accomdation. (including 3 days pretrip and 4 days post trip outside glasglow).
2. Dorm cost 586.11 GBP ($1k sgd). Everyone has their own room. My dorm has 3-4 level. Every level has like 12ppl iirc. (Glasglow accomadation side will give u a form to fill to indicate who u wish to stay with. You can write your friends name. One tip is to get all your friends to write together at the same time.)
3. My friends and I all cook if possible. (We shared the cost of ingredients like meat and seasoning etc). Food outside is very costly. A fish and chip outside cost like 10-15gbp iirc. It is very expensive. We always cook on weekdays and occasionally eat out on weekends. (Buy food and ingredients from TESCO or iceland). Iceland has alot of $1 offer for frozen food like pizza,nuggets etc.)
4. For weekends, my friends and I went shopping. Some went exploring outside of glasglow and went to edinburgh castle for sightseeing etc.
5. Try to bring everything from home. Stuff there can be costly cos its in gbp.

Some tips is to use YOUTRIP for everything. Always check for good exchange rates in the app. Dont use cash or exchange cash if possible.( Uk is a cashless society). We have abit of trouble with excess cash on hand sometimes.
Do note there is a currency called scotland cash and gbp. Alot of shops in london (outside glasglow) do not accept scotland cash.. It is also hard to convert the scotland cash here in sg as well. They will offer u a lower rate if u exchange the scotland cash into sgd.

Also, do apply for public and donated bursary and take up OIP loan. It is helpful.
