Advice for UK.

Hello everyone,

In a few weeks I’m moving to Manchester in order to start my first year at University of Manchester ( computer science ). I would like to ask you ( I don’t really have anyone to ask ), if there are any “must know” tips and tricks for this :D ( of course hack like ). Which are the best internet providers ? How is piracy treated ? Should i consider buying a license for a good VPN ? Are there any hackerspaces besides those from here https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/List_of_Hacker_Spaces ? If you have any other peaces of advice you’d like to give, I’d be happy to listen. Do you have any idea if there are any open jobs for newbies part-time or something not paid but suitable for learning ?

Thank you.
