Schools What is Studying Physics at UK Universities Like?

If you're in the UK on a student visa then the number of hours per week you are allowed to work is restricted by the immigration services.

Yeah, but since he's from the EU, I don't think he'd have any restrictions imposed upon him. I'm not completely sure those transitive periods are over for all countries, though, so there might still be a catch somewhere.

If he is from the EU then he won't be here on a student visa.

Tough times ahead? I don't know how likely it is this will materialize, but still - http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/16/world/europe/16britain.html?_r=1&ref=world".

Looks like it did materialize. Can anyone tell me if this affair will affect universities in Scotland? Edinburgh or St. Andrews for example.

If you want to really learn physics then you will spend most of your evenings studying and only a couple of evenings a week drinking in the union bar or some other activity.

That's not true. As a full time student you can spend all day studying - you can do something else every evening, and still *really* learn physics! That said, a couple of evenings a month is probably enough time to spend in the average union bar - try acting, dancing, chess, clubs, dating girls (!), Indian restaurants, russian restaurants, classical concerts, pop concerts... every night.. you get the idea... There is no time in your life when you will be able to experience such a wide range of experiences. Get out there and enjoy! As long as you don't get too many hangovers you'll be all the fresher for your day "job" - studying physics - which should also be fun - if not do something else!

For said universities the cap has been raised to £9,000, I'm afraid. (Unless you're scottish)

Well, now what?.. £36k of debt is a bit much for me. Perhaps it's not entirely off-topic, where else could I enroll in physics, regarding the fact that I know no other language except my native and English and I will be a bachelor in economics in a semester?
