Best of luck.

You don't have to be a citizen to use the national health service, you just have to be a legal resident - even if you just here as a student you are entitled.

Well, Liverpool was city of culture winner wasn't it?
Personally I can't imagine what a culture shock it must be moving from there to the UK.
Think I would plump for Canada or Aussie- to hell with the culture!
I know property is very exp in HI, but it's pretty high in the UK too and not sure how wages compare ?
Maybe OP could give us some idea of what salary she is making.

Hvae you looked at property prices and wages in the UK?

......and the fact that it's not free if you work.

Op - Think long and hard before taking a step further...All of the other posters have givne you a good idea. Check the mainland, check Canada, check Oz. All will be an easier adjustment.

Go on line to to find out your costs...you will need at least a two bedroom flat...remembering you will most likely need to replace everthing you have...due to shipping costs and electrical power supply. Add in higher costs for auto and petrol/gas...

And don't forget that pesky thing called a J O B
