Can you tell me about moving to London?

Any advice on moving to London?

  • I live in the United States and I am almost a junior in high school. After high school, I would love to move to London permanently, after studying at a University to become an aerospace engineer. I am trying to figure out how much money I need to save up in order to successfully move to London, and I just have a few questions. Would it be smarter to rent a flat while attending school in London, or to buy one? Can you work while going to school to bring in extra income to help pay for essentials such as Food, Water, and Electricity? How long can you work per week as a student in London? If it would help any, I am also planning on moving with two of my friends from school, that would also love to study in London. Each of us are planning on saving up 10,000 dollars for the move, and even with all of our money put together, it wouldn't last us long enough to finish our courses that we want to get into, assuming we were renting. Any advice at all on how much we need to make to move to London,and how to survive once we get there, along with types of visas that would help with what I need to get done would be the best. Best answer goes to anyone that tries to tell me EVERYTHING I need to know to move, and mostly, keep my expenses as low as possible. I have wanted to move to London since I was 7 years old, and with 2 years left before I move out, I think its time to start getting my affairs in order. Thank you so much in advance!

    Hi :) I live in London and I am a Senior in high school going to university this year and I think my advice to you it to study at university in USA and then move to London. The university fees for 2012 have tripled to £9, 000 a year and for overseas students it's SOOOO much more, like £20, 000 and you have to pay for accomdation and everything. It's not worth it and London is one of the most expensive in the world. You need to save up a lot of money and $10, 000 won't be enough. Honestly, you're better off getting your degree in USA and then move to London with your friends if they still want to and start working and living in here. I think that's a good plan :) we need more smart people like you here. Oh yeah, my friend is going to St. Mary's in London and there are lot of USA students, because they do transfers with the UK and USA, so if you want to study in England, that's a good plan. Good luck! xoxo

YOu have no idea whatsoever, do you? Overseas student fees would cost you about £20000 a year + living expenses for three years (say £120000+) and then you would have to leave CHeck the UKBA website and consider plan B

Nick's a bit blunt but he's pretty close to the truth, however the situation in Europe is very volatile right now and in 5 years time I would not be surprised if the EC has collapsed. I suggest you continue your studies at home and keep an eye on the situation. Review your position after you graduate.

My advice is not to move to London, UK at all, apart from it being very expensive, as you can see from the first answer, your very life will be in danger. Many Americans have been murdered in London, I read it in the newspapers. So, please think it over...

= You best bet (IMO and I am not an attorney etc) would be to contact the college you are going to enroll in and they should be able to help you - in most cases getting a student visa will make the process easier - you need to be careful though - this will NOT provide you with permanent resident status
