Thats why the UK is a shit hole now!


How are these foreigners able to do this? I'm honestly curious. They have to be doing it legal or else they wouldn't get aid from the gov't.[/quote]

Obviously some forget those stamps on foreign passports put in by UK authorities saying clearly:

"prohibited from paid or UNPAID employment",


at least Cyprus allows some PAID work of the type a student might take. If it is matter of educational work, then it can obviously be unpaid, something prohibited in the UK for non EU residents.

Perhaps, but full-time students in the UK from non-EU countries are permitted to work up to a certain number of hours per week.

In my time, we all worked, illegally.

Shhhh! Are you sure the statute of limitations has expired on that one?

In my days (late eighties) I received a government tertiary study allowance (as a permanent citizen of Australia) which helped a lot, so I find it hard to believe that people come here broke to study and expect to be able to pay for it and their stay through part-time work that hasn’t been secured yet!

Well in the US, int'l students are only allowed to work off campus. They cannot get a job outside school grounds legally. So if they work for the school, they just get minimum wage. However if you get a graduate assistantship at some schools, tuition is free and they still pay you a stipend. If you needed to work while in school, you should have researched whether this is possible and feasible before coming here though.
