<p>Anyone kind enough to Help? Get me in the right direction</p>
<p>My question is to know if I meet the requirements?</p>
<p>I don't know about Ireland because I believe it's a bit different over there. Of those you've mentioned, at least Liverpool asks for US students that you have a good SAT and 2 SAT II scores.</p>
<p>Who to contact? Should I write I letter?</p>
<p>Email is probably fine, go to the university websites and just contact them through that.</p>
<p>Where do i get scholarship info from?</p>
<p>Different universities will have different scholarships, you may be eligible but UK students usually get financial aid from the Student Loans Company. You can study in the UK with aid from FAFSA.</p>
<p>Do I need a Visa?</p>
<p>Yes. Here is some information about visas Students</a> (INF 5)</p>
<p>Can I work around the area?Do i need a work permit?</p>
<p>You will be allowed to work in most places as long as your working hours don't exceed 20 per week.</p>
<p>What are living standards like?</p>
<p>Living standards are fine. Though it is much more expensive over here.</p>
<p>Should i look at certain programmes?</p>
<p>I don't quite understand this question, what do you mean?</p>
<p>like idk study abroad, or like they put you in with a family?
also im in a honor society, i should have 60 credit hours before fall 2010</p>
<p>How many years of study have you already completed?</p>
<p>I've looked around a bit more and it seems most UK universities don't accept transfer credits. You'd be welcome to apply here but would have to start an undergraduate degree from year 1.</p>
<p>The London Metropolitan University accepts transfers

<p>Leeds Metropolitan also does
Leeds</a> Met - International Students</p>
<p>Are you looking for a permanent transfer? I think something like this might be your best bet International</a> Office - International Students - Newcastle University</p>
<p>yes im looking at permanent tranfsfer</p>
<p>i should have 60 credit hours before fall 2010, so 2 years at my community college</p>
<p>I have no idea what credit hours means.. I think I've given all the information I know. You'd be better off contacting the universities you're interested in. Sorry I can't be more helpful.</p>
<p>one course is three credit hours</p>
<p>many UK colleges dont accept transfer students and on a rare occasion, i know that the Top 6 UNI (Oxbridge, LSE, Imperial, UCL, Warwick) dont accept transfer at all since many UK student start their degree class the first year of university. So you have to apply again as a first year</p>
<p>My question is to know if I meet the requirements?
- Your college GPA is ok, but UK university also want to know ur AP Scores since this is an equivalent of their A-Level
Who to contact?
- Contact each Uni-international office
Where do i get scholarship info from?
- If you are looking for scholarship from the university, im telling you, you wont get any since your international student, try to find one state side.
Do I need a Visa?
- Yes you need a visa
Can I work around the area?Do i need a work permit?
- Nope you need a work permit, either you apply on ur own for 420 pounds or the company that you are hired for will apply one for you
What are living standards like?
- It really depends, London is major city so you will have your night-life, tourist and etc. Liverpool and Newcastle are quite lively as well since they are major cities, but Hull never even heard of it and I study in the UK </p>
<p>I hope this helps
Should i look at certain programmes?</p>
<p>I would email or call each university and tell them your situation (calling would be better, sometimes they like to ignore emails, esp. Liverpool, grrr).</p>
<p>You won't be able to get a scholarship, there aren't even scholarships for UK citizens (except some need-based finaid and loans). Try to find a scholarship in the US which you can use in the UK.</p>
<p>Hull is fairly big too.. any big city with a university will have plenty of bars, pubs etc.</p>
<p>thanks guys,
Im just tired over here in the USA i want to get out</p>
<p>I dont care if i have to start all over again</p>
<p>If you have no problem with starting from scratch then you may as well just apply as an undergraduate, that'd be easier than a transfer.</p>
<p>Yeah I agree if you are willing to start from scratch then you should just apply as a freshmen undergraduate, I'm just wondering why no schools in London or Scotland?</p>

<p>IDk why maybe they anti-amercian idk lol , i dont care if i have to start from scratch at least i get the experience of the school there and the experience of the country</p>
<p>It's really expensive to live in London, but we have a lot of other good schools too.</p>
<p>You have to know exactly what you want to study though. But if you do know and really want to study here then go for it! England welcomes you!</p>
<p>I want to study philosophy and political science</p>
