How to become a British Expat

[+Karl]

So, I really want to move out of England and just get away from the diminishing culture and horrible lifestyle everyone has over here. I want to start fresh, clear my mind and make my own way through life.

 

For those that don't know what an expat is, it's short for expatriate, meaning someone who is temporarily/permanently living in a country which is different to their nationality.

 

I'd love to move over the the USA, firstly as a student and get a degree in computer programming or business management, or perhaps something else, but where's the best place to study? I'd also then, if able to apply for citizenship and find a company willing to sponsor me to stay in the USA, permanently.

 

But with the different states, each local district has a different way of doing things and different requirements, so where would I start? If anyone has any knowledge of moving to another country let me know how you found the move, and how I should prepare myself for a move.

Why the USA, it sucks

California would be the best man. So many different schools with different oppurtunities and on top of that just a really nice place to live.

England is slumping. (Pun intended)

Is the cost of living high there? I've been looking at Maryland.

i live in california and can vouch for our public education. we have some of the best schools in the country for science/medicine. people have different lifestyles depending on where you live, but as a local from Los Angeles I can tell you people from all over the world live here. We are known as the melting pot for that reason. There is so much to learn and discover here and apart from the heat, one of the most amazing places to live.

Anyone had an experience of moving abroad?

 

What stages are there?

 

All I know is that I have to find somewhere to study, somewhere to live and possibly get sponsorship from a company if I intend to get permanent residency. Plus apply for a student VISA.

Welp, if you don't want to pay taxes and have to pump your own gas, come to Oregon :P

 

Other than that I would have chosen either Australia or New Zealand, but I hear they have big spiders :( And I do not do well with spiders at all (even the tiny ones that lurk in my room).

 

Anyways, hope you manage to work everything out soon there Karl.

WTF, go get in serious debt with university, get a spot at edge hill and I'll let you board in my attic <3

 

 

Can't say I have experience permanently, but go Australia ;), see a lot of programs of life programs on TV showing British people moving there, looks like a nice start.

University Of Illinois has a 4.6 ranking for computer science programs.

I've always thought it would be nice to live abroad for a while, really experience a different culture and just get my life back on track.

 

I was thinking of maybe taking America on after uni, or just travel around for a little gap year not too sure atm.

 

See why you wan't to get out of England though, its a hole, in so many respects.

I can't see Maryland being cheaper. Thought you wanted to get away from that cold though.

you can sleep on the rug in my room next to my labordoodle

Go to either NY institute of technology, PA, Deleware, Maryland, Virgina and round' those areas. Do NOT go to CT, our taxes are the highest and we have the largest gap of Highest Income and Lowest Income population.

 

Computers is the best place for you to work with. Hopefully your credit is decent and you can get a student loan. Get that degree with computer science or whatever that instravolves those computers and you'll have a job straight out of college getting paid at least 50k a yr to start.

 

My best bet is to do hacking protection with homeland security. This will secure you a job and benifits for life.
