The peasants (students) are revolting

It definitely is the best place. I don't lead an extravagant life, but the cost of living in a city near university take at least 60-70% of what I was earning. Part times jobs offered for students are minimum wage, so you end up having to live off of about 10'000 for the year, which needs to pay for everything rent is just over half of that. Add bills on top of that, it isn't great.

For my studies - Computing background - I need to be doing at least 40 hours of studying out side of the university and the projects on top of that. I manage to fit in about 20 hours of part time work.

I am currently working 9-5 on a placement which is helping this year. Bit of a break from it all.

Only have another year and a half to go to not too much of a big problem.
