Living and Studing in the UK?

Hi guys,
im new to this community, and i signed-up because im a polish student, that currently resigns in the USA. Ive came to this country about 5 yrs ago, finished HS, got my diploma, and started college. For the past 3 years, I have been a Graphic Artist in NYC. I work for companies and individuals.

Me and my girlfriend (currently studying to be an MD in Poznan University), were thinking about moving to the UK, either Scotland or England, and starting college as UE citizens. We both are Polish, have Polish passports.

If you guys don't mind i have a few question i would like to ask:
1. How are the college programs for UE citizens in the UK?

2.Is it hard to get into a 4 year school?

3.Do I need a visa to come to the UK from the US?

4.What is an average cost of living for 2 per week?

5.What is a cost for a UE citizen for college Education in the UK?

From what I have looked up, prices for a 1 bedroom flat, range from about 500 to 700 pounds per month, is that right.

Please help,

many thanks
-mike

P.S. if any of you currently studies in the UK, and wouldn't mind helping me, please contact me. I would be appreciate that.

Depends where you are thinking of studying. 500 pounds will get you a small house in most towns and some cities (NOT London).

If its a degree at a university then a course is around £3000 tuition fees for UK and EU students, at a college the prices range from about £200 to £500 for a year course (usually). I wouldnt worry about getting a place, if you have the money to pay for it then you can usually do any course you want!! :)
