Does anyone know when you should apply for a university in England? Or more importantly if it's worth it, the time and money, to study there? I just think it would be an exciting experience. Or is it better to try for an American institution? I'm thinking of studying engineering btw.

I'd say it would be worth depending on the course/ institution that you make it into.

Application timetable for applying to universities in the UK

March–September. Research and make choices about universities and courses. Open Days, conferences and HE fairs/conventions take place between March and September/early October. Make the most of school/college vacations to visit universities and university cities/towns. Applications can be sent to UCAS from mid-September.
15 October. Deadline for receipt at UCAS of applications for Cambridge or Oxford or medicine, dentistry or veterinary science/medicine in any university.
15 January. Deadline for receipt at UCAS of all other applications to be treated equally from the UK or elsewhere in the EU (except some art and design courses). Applications are normally accepted after this date but are marked as 'late'.
Many schools and colleges will encourage students to apply well before the 15 January deadline for good reason, with early November a common school/college deadline. This allows the school to add things such as references, and check personal statements and choices.
February–July. UCAS Extra (Extra is open between the end of February and early July).
25 February. If you are eligible to use UCAS Extra you can refer yourself to another choice.
24 March. Extended deadline for some art and design courses – visit the UCAS website for details of these courses.
31 March. If UCAS received your application by 15 January, universities and colleges aim to have supplied UCAS with their decisions by this date, although they can take longer.
8 May. If UCAS receive universities decision on your application by 31 March, you need to reply to any offers by this date, unless you are applying through UCAS Extra. If UCAS has not received your reply, they will decline on your behalf.
9 May. If you applied by 15 January and are awaiting decisions, universities need to have sent their decisions to UCAS by this date. If they do not, UCAS will make any outstanding choices unsuccessful on their behalf.
6 June. If UCAS received decisions from universities by 9 May, you need to have replied to any offers by this date, unless you are applying through UCAS Extra. If UCAS has not received your reply, they will decline your offers on your behalf.
27 June. If UCAS receives all decisions from universities by 7 June, you need to reply to any offers by this date, unless you are applying through UCAS Extra. If UCAS has not received your reply, they will decline your offers on your behalf.

3 July. Last date to apply through UCAS Extra.
18 July. If you applied by 30 June and are are waiting for decisions, universities need to send UCAS their decision by this date. If they do not, UCAS make any outstanding choice unsuccessful on their behalf.

If UCAS do not receive a reply from you, they will decline the offers on your behalf. This is the last date to make changes to your replies.
6 August 2013. SQA results are published and the Scottish Clearing vacancy information service starts.
15 August 2013. GCE and Advanced Diploma results are published and the full Clearing vacancy information service starts. UCAS Adjustment opens for registration.
31 August 2013. UCAS Adjustment closes on this date.
20 September. This is the last date that UCAS will normally accept applications for courses starting in 2013.

@BLIT2014 wow thanks for all of that information. ":| looks like a lot of effort. I'll keep looking into that. Studying abroad still looks fun.

And no, I'm definitely not at all good in sports.

Perhaps you could consider studying on exchange for 6 months/1 year?

I would suggest you studying in England - It is worth it. But I think that enginieering schools are better in US, but England is known for some of the best universities. i would like to suggest you reading this guide www.studying-in-england.org - it has all the information you need.

I was a student in England and I had lots of international students (I still do) - especially from the States. Also try to search about students stories - I think there are different webpages like StudyBlog.org.

I hope I helped you in any way possible.

Best wishes
