Mmmmm .... interesting idea about the University finding you a job. May be the way it works in the States, but unfortunately not here. My daughter graduated a year ago and is still in part time work. Some would say this has happened due to the Governments idea of uni education for all. So many people are going through the University system now, and its not a given that you come out of it and walk into a job.

As for it being cheaper here .......well ....... England is a very expensive place to live, the cost of living is much higher than the US. Uni fees that I heard of were up to £3000 per annum now, plus shared accomodation probably at £200 - £250 a month (outside London) plus of course your food and books.

I read on another website that the Student Visa requires that the students plan to return home atfer their studies.

But your graduate school in the best place to help you find a job. If I went back home, I'd be all alone in that all important first job search (my undergrad doesn't have this major).

So is it worth saving the money to go to England and may have to come here? Or would the school still help me find a job like any other student, and would I be eligable for a work visa?

This is crazy far off (two years!) but my family is counting up how many kidneys we need to sell.
