Normally it is cheaper to enroll directly into a foreign university. I know this holds true in France. If you decide to study abroad for more than 3 months (90 days) you will have to get a student visa. Obtaining a visa is a long process- so start well in advance. I work for a new travel/study abroad website that's dedicated to helping students go abroad. It's called Gulliver (http://www.gullivergo.com). You can search more than 2,000 programs in over 70 countries. Check out these UK programs (http://bit.ly/JsNpv). You can compare prices as well. Before you travel, check out our Prepare to Go section (http://www.gullivergo.com/prepare-to-go) to learn about funding, scholarships, housing, internet, visas, and other tidbits for your trip. We also have a discussion forum (http://www.gullivergo.com/discuss) where you can connect with students who are currently abroad or have recently returned home. Good Luck and Happy Travels!
