How to move to England?

Well, i'm 16 still a student, and i'm absolutely fascinated with England!
I want to move there for a couple years. Right now I live in Canada.
I have some questions.


Do you guy's think it would even be possible to move to England by myself at my age?

And where would be the best place to move too?

Is there any programs like the transfer student program I could do to live there?


Please tell me if you went to live in England from another place like I am trying to do, and if you already live in England give some good pointers on where I should live when I go there.

 

At your age, no.

I'm 15 and live in England...

If I was you, I'd try to stay out of the big cities. Places within the cities are nice, but there's crime and stuff, just like in any city. Places like York are nice, it's a nice city, but not too big, not too much crime. Also, there's a uni there, I'd say that'd be your best option, coming over when you're 18/19, going to uni for a few years, then taking things from there.

The government do student loads and stuff, but I don't know much about them. It might be worth researching them. Also, the army sponser people to go through uni, so they'll pay your tutition fees, and give you a basic wage, and in return you do three years service after uni. But, again, you'd need to research that more. Also, I'm not sure if either of them applies to forgien citizens. xD


Ohhh yeahh, one more thing... Bring a rain coat. xD

 

this is not a good time to move there.

 

Haha, thanks for the info.

Well I am definitely moving to England when I am 18, I just wanted to go there for like a year too see how living is there for a longer period of time, I went on vacation for 4 months to London. Was amazing imo.
And I have been looking for a transfer student program, I know there is one set up with my school. But Idk if its with England, the transfer students we usually get are from hongkong.

 

Yes. That's true.

Credit Crunsh andd all! xD

 

Why isnt it a good time to move there?

 

Because the pound is really bad to the "dollah" right now. Well, it's really bad to everything really.

So most products are getting more and more expensive. Also, at one point, house prices were falling by £100 per day.


Butttt.... In a few years, thing's be 'reet! And the houses'll be cheap. xD

 

Oh, well yeah I dont think a house will be a problem for me, I am in a very very wealthy family. And my parents will be paying for my house when im 18, lol.

 

Oooo... Get you. xD... Very Very Wealthy, ehh?

Also... House wise, you'll get half what get for your money in America... So the houses are twice as expensive-ish.

 

It's boring, every things a rip off, but with friends every things all right

 

I'm 15 and I live in London. Right now, doing exams, (as England students are the students who spend most time sitting exams), I'm wishing I lived somewhere else.

 

Erm... it doesn't work like that

Anyway er.. yeah, if you move to England, I don't recommend moving to one of the big cities. Leeds, London etc, cause Canadians/Americans will get the shit ripped out of them, plus in the bigger cities there's more crime.
Move to a nice quiet city. Like York or something.
I don't recommend moving to another country at all at 16 though, wait till you're like 18 or something.

 

You shouldn't, it's not all tea and crumpets, it's different to what Americans/Canadians see it.

I plan to move AWAY from England ASAP.

 

And aside from the economy, I hear you have awful problems with immigration right now.

 

I think we've had an immigration problem for years, it never went away. A lot of asians/pakistanis etc open shops, a lot of people complain about them ''stealing'' our jobs.

 

Hmm, Im from Philippines, so its true that England's Weather is pretty harsh..

 

This is true, especially if you have an accent.

 

Move to the Lake District.

 

Ok well ive been around most of England and for me the only place with actually nice people is Devon/Cornwall. The closer you get to london the worse the people get.

 

Im in york right now he he.

Been here for 2 days, its a beautiful place ^^
Thinking of moving here. Im here for another couple weeks.

Thanks for all the info every one.

Oh and btw, if your gonna move from england to canada... Move to like bc..
BECAUSE ITS ALWAYSFUCKING SNOWING IN CANADA >.<
