Stephen, thanks for this pre-departure list. I believe that point number 5 is the most important issue, and from own experience I know how painful it is without having solved the issue under point 3 - “it can take weeks for an account to be set up”. Not having a bank account is particularly annoying when trying to find accomodation and signing a rental contract. In my case the University study centre was very helpful and supportive. Thanks!

Eat a third and drink a third and leave the remaining third of your stomach empty. Then, when you get angry, there will be sufficient room for your rage.

Hey I’m living in Perth (WA) at the moment and I’m keen on studying in the UK. I’m in my final year of high school, TEE coming up in November. Do you have any more tips on how I should apply for my visa (I want to live in the UK for maybe 5+ plus). My Mother is English, I have an Australian passport as well as an English passport and I have lived in the UK from 1997 to 2001. I intend to live maybe with my friends, and work in the UK to pay my uni debts. Can you give my anymore tips or processes I will have to go through, or even if you know of any ways that will make it cheaper?
Muchly appreciated

Stephen,

Thanks for the excellent tips! You echo what a lot of international students say — it can be a lot of work to make a study abroad experience happen. There’s a lot of research, planning, etc., and it can seem endless at times. But once you’ve done that part and you get where you’re going, the experience is priceless.

Keep up the good work!

Keith
