I wanted to apply to a graduate school in the UK! I am from the US and I didn't know of a legitimate website that would give accurate information about it! Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

I don't know if this will help but.. . I'm planning on attending the University of Edinburgh in Scotland for graduate school in a little while. I haven't actually applied yet but from what my counselors have said i'm guaranteed entrance. I would go talk to your advisor and/or the office in charge of study abroad programs would have a lot of helpful information. I have found out most of what i needed to know from them and also the schools website. Most websites will have a special link for international students and some are even specific for individual countries. If you don't know what school you want just google it (ex. graduate nursing programs in the UK) or something like that but with what you want to study. At my current college the advisors weren't very helpful finding an international college that would be good for me so i had to do that part on my own but once i had a few in mind we requested information on the specific progams i was interested in and the UK schools will mail you a lot of stuff.

Generally, for postgraduate courses in the UK one goes to each university's web-site not to an official central service. A commercial but well regarded place to start, however, would be the Hobsons postgraduate courses website. They work closely with the British Council, a government run body, who would also be worth approaching. In the UK UCAS is the official central service for applications for undergraduate courses. As far as i am aware there is no equivalent facility for postgraduate courses. However, their website will let you search for undergraduate courses by topic, so if you're interested in something very specific (e.g. forensic engineering rather than law, as the latter would be offered in many places) it might point you towards universities who are strong in your area of interest. I'd recommend you start with Hobsons.
