I plan to save up as much money as possible and also apply for a federal college loan here at home and use it to pay for tuition at a school in the UK, perhaps the University of Sussex, which participates in an international student program . I plan to get a student visa and live, study and work part time in the UK for three years.
If that isn't ambitious enough, I have a nine year old child. I would need to bring my child with me, if this is possible, and enroll them in a free public school, if that is possible, take care of them, drop them off and pick them up from school unless there's a bus service, and do all the parental type stuff, while going to school and working myself.
I figure I can't stay in a dorm room with a nine year old child so I would probably need to pay for a flat or make some sort of special arrangements with the university but I suspect there's nothing they would be able to do for me.
I know this forum is more for technical info and less for this sort of thing but what do you guys think of this? Is this something other people do? Would I be the first American to apply for a loan in the usa, go to school in the UK while bringing their child along for the ride? I think going to school in the UK would benefit them as well and it would be a great cultural experience for the both of us. I just don't know if it's feasible.
in fact US students an get a federal loan to fund studies overseas and many US students do this as fees here are lower than in the US. However from July 4th tier 4 students will no longer be able to bring dependents if they are studying an undergraduate course and are not government sponsored. I don't believe receiving a loan from your government is the same as being sponsored.mulderpf wrote:How sure are you that you can use your federal loan for studying outside the US? Somehow I do not think that the US Government will subsidise and guarantee a loan for studying overseas.
