How to read these prices

Each is what the university publishes on its own site, usually for its own halls; the “What it covers” column says exactly what.
Prices are only compared with others quoted for the same period and currency, so nothing here has been converted or scaled.
A promotional or time-limited rate is marked and never listed as the cheapest option.
Open a university to see its tuition, courses and the exact sentence each price came from.
