Furthermore, the collegiate system, which does not cost Home and EU students extra, not only means extra funding opportunities, but also cheaper living costs with college accommodation. Of course, rents vary, but crucially, you don’t have to pay during the vacations, only for the eight-week terms when you are in residence.
