Right now, a venti drip coffee at Starbucks in Oxford costs Canadian $4.77. 250g of tofu costs just over $4. My rent is $821, for one room in a shared basement flat. Going to see a film costs about $15, even with a student discount. Making telephone calls on my cell phone costs $0.68 a minute. I miss $10 sushi lunches, $8 bottles of drinkable wine (Farnese), and $2 cups of coffee. In total, exchange rate shifts since October have increased my projected costs for the remainder of the program by C$3,990.30 or £1,645.78. The exchange rate can make prices crazy.

Now my tuition is just about 20,000 cdn. Unfortunately due to reliance student loans i couldnt pay it all off back when the exchange rate was more favourable...its just money right?:( I feel your pain with the exchange rate
