How difficult is it to move to London?

Question

I live in Birmingham and when go to uni, im hoping to move to London (not my only option but definitely my most wanted).

I've heard from many people that London is very difficult to live bc its very expensive but I would really like to go mainly because of experience and opportunities.

I wanted to know is it difficult to the point where you go homeless and find no hope being a graduate? Or it is challenging but manageable?

I was thinking of moving to Manchester, but London has the atmosphere I'm looking for. But would it be best for to move to Manchester first then move to London when im in my mid- twenties?

London is the best in entertainment but the city is expensive to live in due to a shortage of accommodation at a reasonable rent.  Most jobs in London pay just
the national minimum to begin with and that will barely cover your living costs.
Still, if you bring some money with you and rise to the challenge you should be okay.
Good luck.

London is horrendously expensive, yes - but it does have work opportunities.

If you're willing to share a house / flat with others, it can be just about affordable. But make sure you find a job before moving,

It's kind of hard to understand what you mean about it being "difficult". The UK is a free country, and you can move where you like. If you can find somewhere to live with rent you can afford, and you can find a job that pays enough, you can move here.

Your University will provide advice and possibly halls of Residence in the first year at a discounted rent. You will learn to cook cheap nutritious (meat free) food.

The Uni will have a list of student houses. Everything is expensive there. Yes you could have a good time, but you have to find the money to pay for it.
