Living in the United Kingdom

Evening all!

Alright so I'm just looking for a little bit of advice, I'm a UK national currently living permanently over in New Zealand but at the end of next year I'm looking at going back home only problem I have is that I start University 3 months after I finish college, I'm feeling like really thats not long enough because I am looking to live in London for a little while and go traveling round Europe (Germany, Luxembourg, France, Spain, Netherlands etc...) in all that space of time, I've considered taking a gap year off so I can live and work in the United Kingdom. Is there anybody here that has had a similar experience even if you haven't has anybody got some nice opinions?

Thanks everyone!

Do you teach you at college where to put 'full stops' . I've read this twice and I still don't have a clue what you are talking about.

If I understand correctly, you are studying in NZ now (College = secondary/high school in NZ-language? ).
Three months after finishing in NZ, you will be starting study in the UK.

But you want a longer break, to go travelling or working?

Hmmm...check the unemployment and job availability statistics in places you might want to go.
UK passport? All of EU is open for you to work...but same problem.

Yeah, correct. Sorry for not making it clear enough. What I'm trying to say is I'm either going to start University in the UK or NZ, if I do go back to NZ for my studies then I will have three months in Europe. If I decide on the UK then well I'll be over there indefinitely. Yeah, I also have a UK passport.

Ok, well you might also want to check the costs of uni in each country, and what you are eligible for in the UK as someone who's not been there much recently.

3 months is a good length for travelling Europe - pretty in winter.
