Studying in England! :-)

[Red-Bull-Racing]

Hello everybody

I'm doing my last year in the secondary school. So next year it's time for higher education! And I would like to study in England.

The plan is to do a Bachelor in mechanical engineering. I've heard that Sheffield University is a good place, but it is a bit far to go home. Not that I would go home every weekend, but if I would go home it's quite expensive.

So I've got some questions:

1. Where are the good universities for mechanical engineering? (The closer to Dover, London the better )
2. How high is the level of mechanical engineering in England?
3. If you want to do mechanical engineering, at what level do you need to finish secondary school?

Any further info is always welcome.

Thanks
Simon Bettens
