You can fly from London Heathrow with BMI or BMIbaby (budget carriers) or from London Luton with Easyjet (ditto). www.flybmi.com www.bmibaby.com www.easyjet.com Booking early will get you the cheapest flights, but the check-in times are v strict indeed, as are the luggage allowances. British airways also fly from London Gatwick and Heathrow.

Train timetables and fares are on www. nationalrail.co.uk.

You could get a coach (www.nationalexpress.com) but it takes around 12 hours.

http://www.abdn.ac.uk/prospectus/pgrad/general/travel.shtml gives you extra details.

The cost of living is high everywhere in the UK, even higher in London. I don't think Aberdeen is any cheaper than any comparable UK city.
