  • i am from the caribbean. Saint vincent to be exact and i am planning to apply to a university in england whether oxford or cambridge. but when i have completed my studies there, i would like to live and work there (in england). is this possible or do i have to go back to saint vincent? how can i stay there?

    The UK does have a program where graduates of its universities can stay in the country under the "post study worker scheme". Here is info on all that:

    It is also possible that a UK employer would chose to hire you, and sponsor your work visa, but that is highly unlikely unless you study something that is in great demand.

  • I’m planning a trip to England with my boyfriend this summer. I’m just looking for general tips on how to avoid any animosity for being an American tourist. Forgive me for being naive or ignorant, but England is the first place we’re travelling abroad. I would just like some simple advice thank you!

    As an English girl, having stayed in America for 6months I can tell you this:

    1. Don’t tip like there’s no tomorrow. You tip in good restaurants (not MaccyD’s) and your taxi (cab) driver. In cafes you can, but only if you think the service is TRUELY outstanding.
    2. The English are sarcastic; if a Brit says something absurd to you, which can’t seem to be true laugh it off – nothing gives us a better kick than using sarcasm against Americans.
    3. Bumbags and baggy tees are never a good look.
    4. Don’t act like you own the place.
    5. Don’t fall for the sucker tourist traps and buy a ‘London Tower’ tee in the gift shop you could get for £5 down the road at a market stall.
    6. If you’re going to London, go to Camden Market. It’s worth it.
    7. Be polite, please and thank you always go down well.
    8. We hate George Bush. We like Obama (I speak for most Brits).
    9. No basketball, no football, no baseball. SOCCER. (but please call it football). Research your Rugby if you’re going to a pub.
    10. We get lots of TV shows later than you, please don’t divulge the secrets of Lost, Heroes, Beauty and the Geek or any other American show you may have watched in the past year.

    I hope you enjoy England, it has truely beautiful countryside; a rich, diverse history and many charming people who should help you find your way if you get lost.

    Good luck.

  • Alright, to say it nicely, I love England. I am kind of obsessed. I would absolutely love to go there really soon but seeing as I am only 15 and have no means on income besides babysitting, the possibility is very shallow. Is there any way I can go there for a vacation of some sort without having to pay nearly 10 thousand dollars? I have tried to enter contests that the prize is a trip there, but have been unsucessfull.

    15 is a bit young: you would need not only your passport but also possibly a note from you parents – and a visa.I’d suggest you check the British Embassy website and ask about whatever programs may be available for teens ( school exchange programs or whatever). Plus, it doesn’t cost 10,000 to go over for a visit. A plane ticket (return) is perhaps 1,000$ (check with Expedia.com). And if you find a family to live with, then cheaper still to stay over. For a brief stay, you might want to check couchsurfing.com.

  • I heard it was different from the US (age 18).

    How does it work? Like how many years of high school are there in England, and when do students typically start college?

    Secondary schools take students from the age of 11.

    There are "Sixth Form Colleges". Students start at 16 and leave at 18. There are also schools that educate students until they are 18.

    Typically, from 18-21, students can go to university to read for a degree. A PhD and some vocational qualifications take longer.

  • Me and my mum, dad, and my baby sister might go to England in December next month for me and my sisters winterbreak for a week. What clothing and other essentials should I bring with me?

    The weather is fairly wet and a bit chilly, though generally not below O*C. Definitely take warm clothing, good walking shoes (or boots to keep your feet dry) and a rain jacket. An umbrella is a good idea as well. Mittens and a toque (winter hat) are handy if you want them as well.

  • Which European country is comparable in size and population to England?
    I need to write a comparative piece on paternity leave rights in England and one other European country. However, the country MUST be comparable(similar) in size and population to England. My geography is awful (shameful, I know) so can someone please help me out?

    If you mean the UK pop 60million
    Italy= 58 million
    France = 59 million

  • I am getting married next spring and my fiance and I are thinking of driving up the New England coast for our honeymoon. We want to spend some time in New York City, but we would also like to visit Boston and other sites and cities. Any suggestions?

    I’m not sure where you are starting from. Obviously, Philadelphia and Washington have plenty to do and see.

    New York and Boston are great, naturally. We start getting into weather issues, depending on the time of year you’ll be going. Cape Cod has some nice places. Newport, R.I., is pretty spectacular. The Maine coast is very pretty.
