I'm an italian girl and I'm looking for the right university for me...
I'd like to take a degree in Mathematics and I would go to UK, in particular to London or Canterbury.
Can you say me how much the university is in uk?where do you live during the Accademic year?in colleges or in personal houses?
moreover...what should I do to be admitted in an English University? Do I need a particular certificate or exam? if yes, where could I take it? in the same university? or are there some schools for this purpose?

PS:I'm sorry for my English...please, don't use slang words in your answers because I don't understand them...
Ah...I have the ISE II certificate of Trinity...can it help me for the admission at the university?
