Life in UK for students is quite different for students as compared to India. It is infinitely more expensive. Options are more, but the costs too is high. There are no major road side eateries which can serve you hot parathas for a few pence, a few pounds is more likely the cost you would have to bear on each such outing. You would automatically switch to everyone pays for themselves, but that is small consolation when everything will start with a minimum of 1 pound. Yes, even a slice of chess bread from the van would cost you either 1 pound or more. Even the Indian eateries at places with Indian diaspora takes UK pricing connotations. For a first time student, eveything gets converted to 100 as a comparison.
