Friendly recommendation

From students' experience, we know that the US belongs to the more expensive study exchange countries. 

When applying for the scholarship of Mobility Funding UK it is vital to count with extra costs for: 

books (course books) - as you have to buy them or borrow them in the library (for quite a high rental fee)

If staying at the dormitory, in 99% of cases your room will be equipped with a bed, mattress, a wardrobe, a desk, a chair ... but except for that you will have to buy your own beddings, cleaning detergents, kitchen utensils upon your arrival.
