Of course! Relax and enjoy now!!
Hi guys,
Sorry, I've been so busy recently (work plus big house move) that I haven't managed to get onto your blogs for a week! Of course you should bring food and enjoy yourselves. Let your hair down and relax. You've put a lot of hard work in and I hope you've learnt a lot.
So if you read this before tomorrow, start cooking, ha!...maybe too late!
Well, at least, think about what you'd like to do on Thursday then!
Sorry again, if I'm quite rushed and sometimes tired. Hope you understand. But, you guys, have got no excuse. All you have to do is relax, Ok? Hope you've enjoyed films so far....and food and drink of course goes well with them.....:)

Survey: Food Budget for international students from LCC
On 22nd July 2009, a survey was carried out among 30 International Students from Pressessional English Course at LCC. The purpose of the survey was to discover the food budget for International Students so that information can be of help to coming classes.
The survey was directed to current International Student. There were six questions, (all of them involved multiple choices).
The first question concerned preference about eating outside in a restaurant or cooking by oneself. The next four questions were all concerned with food expenses. At length, the last one was related to the food expenditure as a percentage of the total weekly budget.
The main findings were as follow. “Cooking by yourself” was the most popular answer, selected by 67% of the students. The other 33% prefers to eat outside. There was a clear trend in spending between £20 to £50 weekly in groceries, 77% of the interviewed chose this answer. 53% of the students usually eat out one to three times a week, followed by 4 - 6 times a week option, chosen by 30%.
On average of how much they spend when eating out 53 % pointed out that they spend between £11 and £20 per meal. Followed by 30% with £10. Nobody chose the £21 or more option. Including groceries and eating out, 40% of the students used to spend between £30 and £50 weekly, followed by over £71, chosen by 23% and £51-£70 range, selected by 20%. Only 17% chose less than £30. Finally, 64% of the students spend between 31% and 50% of their weekly budget on food.
If any conclusion is given from the survey, they are perhaps, as follows.
International Students from the Pressessional English Course at LCC have been thinking in a considerable food budget before they came to London. Most of the meals are done cooking by themselves. On the other hand, the students like a couple of meals out during the week. Probably they would eat out more often but the budget would increase too much. On average one of their meals out is the third part of the money that they spend weekly on food.

A SURVEY OF STUDENT ACCOMMODATION

The survey was conducted by mean of questionnaire given to the students to complete. There were six questions (with one yes/no question and five ticking items on list). The questions include types, area, price, distance and the extent of satisfactory as well.
The main findings were as follows. The most students live in standard, chosen by 71%; the others chosen studio with 29%. Half of students live in 10-15 centiares, followed by 29% of students live in the room which large than 15 centiares. 42% of the students spent the accommodation fees between 100 to 125 pounds per week, followed by 125-150 pounds, chosen by 30%, only 4% of the students spent more than 150 pounds. In looking at the time they spend on their way to school, 42% of the students spend 15-30 minutes, followed by 30-60 mintues, chosen by 25%. More than half of students felt common or unsatisfied with their accommodation and 75% will not be willing to live in school accommodation for the whole semester.
It is not easy to reach any definite conclusions based upon such a small sample of students from such widely differing backgrounds. However, some general comment can be made. The majority of students live in standand with 10-15 centiares, it cost 100-125 pounds per week. Most students are not satisfied with accommodation and will move out of their accommodations.
