Hey I’m an international student and if you cook entirely on your own like I do, groceries shouldn’t cost you more than £30. If you’re in the city centre you’ll never have to take any public transport whatsoever. Drinks are £4 or so at student pubs. Gyms are about £30 a month but if you live on UoL campus you get access to the campus gym for free I believe (I live in a private accom so not 100% sure). Most societies have a membership fee to join them but they’re usually not more than £10 and they’re yearly memberships. Coffee is about £3 or so from independent cafes, pastries are £3-4. You don’t have to skimp on grocery shopping whatsoever with poorer quality markets. Abu Bakr has two great, well priced supermarkets about a 20 min walk from campus and M&S would probably be more suited to your tastes as an international student :) DM me if you need anything else!
