Issues for studying in the UK from 2017/18 for an EU student

At this moment the absolute earliest Brexit could happen is 14 July 2018, and is likely to be several months later at least. Many UK universities are putting out messages saying current EU students will be unaffected at the point at which Brexit occurs.

We have a new Prime Minister, and a new Cabinet is being announced over the next few hours. It is far, far too early to be talking about the outcomes of any new post-Brexit policies.

Please stop worrying, and go ahead and apply to UK universities. You're welcome here. There are no more safety issues than anywhere else, so that should not be a factor in your decision-making.

This deeply saddens me to read. I'd just like to apologise for the disgusting pigs that unfortunately reside in this once great country. I'd like to reassure you that the horrific xenophobia you see on the news is barely shared by 5% of the population who are spiteful brats who do not understand the first thing about celebrating different cultures. In terms of studying here, the student population who voted in the referendum almost all voted to stay in the EU, are welcoming and well educated people who have ambition and direction and are open to learning about new cultures. The main xenophobia (and people who voted to leave the EU) appears from the elderly generations of about 70-90 year olds and some of the working class, who are less educated and often unemployed. I don't mean to make excuses or anything, but the xenophobia stems from fear mainly. They simply don't like different cultures as they either don't understand it, or don't like change.

I encourage you to look into the voting statistics (a good source is the BBC news website) and it shows the areas that voted to leave or remain. It also have graphs showing the difference in age and education of the voters supporting the comments I have just made. Bare in mind the vote was 52% to 48%, so basically half the country we're still in favour of remaining in the EU. There are lots of large cities such as Manchester, Birmingham, London, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Bristol that often have 3 or 4 universities per city but also large migrant populations. The residents are generally welcoming towards migrants since they are so used to seeing them around the city.

Don't worry we haven't regressed into our barbarian history, we are still a civilised and, for the most part, peaceful people. Please don't rule out our country for studying as it would be a great loss on our part.
