no students will be earning anywhere near that, 160k php a month sorry, unless your very highly skilled, and if you was, you wouldn't be applying for a student visa

they have to work because its so expensive here

this is from last year, average living cost of a student £200 a week

say you got double the minimum pay, thats £12 a hour, £12 * 20hrs aweek = £240, *4 wks a month = £960, take off tax and nat insurance, and your living costs your lucky if you will have £70 a month left, or 5,000 php ... welcome to the real world

and there will not be many student who earn £12 an hour
