2. I assume that you are having no income in the UK. Please correct me if I am wrong
3. How "high on the hog" do you expect to live? You say you are a student. Is your housing arranged through the university or are you finding your own? etc.
1) mostly just random expences, food, movie rentals, shopping, needs for dorm, etc stuff like that, nothing huge.
2) i dont plan on having an income while there thats correct, will most likely be funding everything through money i have in the US/scholarships that i get
3)im not a upper class rich person by any means, i like nicer things (IE buy nicer clothes, nicer restaurants, etc etc) but not gonna be spending thousands of dollars on stuff while im there, my housing will be dorms arranged by the school. its all a kinda package they offer: tuition, housing, meal plan, trips to various cultural things with a guide. only thing il be getting separate is airfare (me and a friend both going so 2 for 1 international airfare via amex)
