Need some advice for going to Great Britain?
I am a citisen of the USA, and I do not like living here. My partner and I are in our final year in high school, after this year he should be transferring to university in Great Britain. However, he is already a citisen of the Europen Union, so his move is easier. At any rate, I have good grades and I'm a hard worker, so how do I ensure I can get into a college in Great Britain? And is there financial aid for foreigners like me? I'm not sure how all this college business works in the UK...any help is appreciated. I do not plan on coming back to United States, he and I play on staying in the UK and living there. :) Thanks in advance.

Interviews to get into a college are 75% attitude 25% grades. It's more of how you present yourself, so I'd recommend a smart look. There is services for foreigners, both to guide and support you ALL THE WAY :)

The University fees in UK will be big, but they are also big in the USA too. You are unlikely to get any financial aid for your fees. You may find that the UK is not as different from the US as you imagine, try to work out what part of your life it is that you do not enjoy right now, and ask yourself why and how that would change.

Hi if you are going to study in university than a prior application should be made to ensure a place is reserved. More details can be found with a service called Immigrate to U.k where they provide advice, airport to accomendation travel, accomendation set-up and anything else required for a small fee. You could contact them on immigrateadvice@hotmail.co.uk or facebook immigrate to uk

You will need much more info than the rhetoric on this site. Frontline had a biased program last night, but watch it and then make sure you find the answers to the hundreds of questions they left unanswered.

If you get a work visa you are allowed to do so. Start applying around, since you will have to have an employer sponsor you.
2 :
only if you are officially sponsored by some employer who filed the proper paperwork with USCIS. Most university grads apply for H1b skilled worker visa status. Once that was approved, you could apply to change status and remain. If you were out of status on your F-1 visa though, you'd have to leave the US to apply for the proper visa outside of the US to return and work. If you remain in the US out of status for more than 6 months, you will be ineligible for any visa for at least 3 years, so keep track of time.

Good luck. The unemployment rate is astronomical and the jobs that would be available are being stolen by the illegals. This country's a mess with a mess of a president. Are you sure you want to stay here?
4 :
No. If you overstay your education visa you are considered illegal. You must apply and qualify for a work visa. A lot of times your employer can petition for you, but it tends to a bit difficult. You have to prove that you are unique in your skills and aren't taking a job from a qualified citizen who also wants the job. Really, keep track of time. If you file even one day too early you can and legally should be denied and have to refile (pay again). Sometimes you may get an officer who won't care, but they are supposed to 100% accurate. It sucks if you file to early!

A student visa is a non immigrant visa .. you do the course and then leave ... if your really smart you may get offered a job ... but this is fairly rare

University tutiton fees in Great Britain
University tutiton fees in Great Britain?
I've been searching for some universities abroad to study at and found that going to GB is way more convenient for me than going to north america since I could actually work there due to my belonging to the EU. :) However, the tutiton fees on, for example, Roehampton University are 3,375£ per year. This is two semesters, right? (yes, of course..) If I would stay there three years and study criminology - would I then have to pay this amount of money three times or would the costs increase/ decrease? and, just to make sure.. would I get a MA or BA degree? 'cause I want to get the BA but can't find anything specific.

Tuition is subject to change. So one year you could pay that and the next you could pay more. You would get the BA degree. To get a MA would be 4 years (3 years +1)
2 :
Tuition fees have gone up every year since I started looking at them (I'm paying £3290 this year for example). So you'd have to pay slightly more each year. Unfortunately the laws regarding student fees have changed recently, meaning as of 2012/13 the fees cap will be raised to £9000 a year. Universities can charge what they like up to that value, but do have to pay a penalty for charging more than £7000 a year. I believe some Universities in the USA still charge a lot more than that though. A three-year course would give you a BA, yes.
