Hi, im 17 years old, i was born in Germany(i have an EU passport), but my parents got divorced so we flew to the Philippines where my mom originally lives and thats where i grew up to and had most of my education. so now my mom got married again and we are now living in England since Dec 24,2006. I already finished highschool in the Philippines and now Im suppose to start College. Problem is that I asked the colleges around here and they all said I have to pay 'overseas fee' since I have not lived in the UK or around EU for the past 3 years. I also asked UKCOSA about and they said that its true and thats the case regardless of whatever EU passport I have. Overseas fees cost about 4800 pounds and we cant afford it. I also asked UKCOSA for any financial support available for my case but they said they dont offer financial support for 'overseas students' like me. Are there any other options available for me? Any other form of education? What do you think I should do? Please help me!!

College is what Im really aiming for. I wouldnt want to stop at just highschool. This may sound cheesy but I really do believe in the power of education. But since we cant afford to pay the overseas fee whats do u think I should do? Are there any other options available? Do you think it would be better for me to wait for 3 years to get the 'home fee'?, should I just take vocational courses instead? Should I go to school part time to lessen the cost? Or should I just fly to the Philippines and finish my studies there? Sorry guys, im not asking you to choose from the ones ive mentioned, your free to type in whatever advice you may have. =)
