How I did it: I got accepted into grad school, although I am already a citizen, so I never had to deal with the visa thing. I lived with my parents, worked two jobs, saved everything I made for two years, took out a massive student loan, and landed a part time job two months after I moved. 

Lessons & tips: Be organized and always two steps ahead of your game. Research everything, starting with finding a place to live, job opportunities, etc. and all the legal stuff that goes with it, like registering for council tax, NIN and NHS.

Resources: Google.  Always Google.
