Big Yes! I would love to study in the UK. Honestly i'm interesting to UK for a long time, also there's so many places i have to see. Hope i'll be able to go to the UK.

Yes, I would. But not specifically English. I want to get my Ph.D degree on physics, and UK is a great place to do it.

It would be interesting to study in the UK. But I prefer to self-study at home to improve my English.

To study English in the UK is my big dream! I would like so much taking a three-month English course. I need to improve my English skills, and it is more difficult to do this when you live in a country where people are non-native English. One day I will realize my dream!

I would like to study in the UK. I try to improve my English skills first.

Yes, I would like to study in the United Kingdom. I think the UK is one of the best countries to study. On the other hand, the UK has become a place for many people all around the world come, meet and share their thoughts. I like that multicultural atmosphere. I like the rainy weather too. However, the cost of living is really higher that my country. I guess that is going to be a problem.

Absolutely.I like to study in the UK.But I have some finance problem.

Yes, It is interesting. it's a new experience.
