Well figure of expenses other then tuition fees can depend on place of stay. I sty in oxford and its undoubtedly the most expensive place i feel. Some times it exceeds london too. Clubbing in london can beexpensive... in oxford its little above average but better then london.
Here i am spending every month around 600 pounds. But that is because of my social life.
Ideally you can look for a figure of around 6000 for london/oxford and similar places and around 5000-5500£ for other places. You can of course work out cheaply but it depends on your individual life style.
Even here in oxford we have people who have survived with around 500 or less a month. But then they have many a times failed to socialise and build the network and make friends. If you are here oneof the most importnt skill you should work on is building network.
I thought i will survive without cell phone, laptop, and clubbing. But then i was wrong. Thats not the way things work out always.
Course are demanding and you will see people realy slogging hard. I observed, people work hard and enjoy harder
You can work 20 hours part time. Thats legal. Getting parttime job is daunting. I waslucky to get the job just in my second application without much pain and delay. I applied on 6th of december and had a part time job on 12th.
Vacation time is dead here. At least in oxford. I utilized that time for working and earning some bucks.
well thats pretty much like it. All I can say to be very specific is that the cost will depend on you and of course the place you are staying in. So decide upon that and then compare. Decide which are the places you want to apply to.
NEVER rule US out . Consider it seriously. I would have if I was in your place. For me it was hard because i was coming from three year graduation background.
Do let me know if you need anything else and all the best.
..I am hoping for GMAT of 720 about, about to appear in JAN2004 . I am yet to apply to MBAs of UK but I don't know their rankings and also which of those will be ok for me..my constraint is $ 18000 (US) including living costs 
..and I have 7 years of experience..I have BTech and MTech with 85%..Can u suggest me the names of universities that would be willing to take me given the finanacial constraint..and also just enough schol to be within $18000. 
...can u help me? Do u know the sites that have such info..? 
I am waiting for good ones... of course you cant expect me in there if the pics are good
