    As an American, yes, you would need a passport (quite obviously) and a visa. Obtaining a student visa shouldn't be any difficulty as long as your parents can show pay your school fees up-front and can show that they have sufficient funds to support your studies there. Most universities in the UK accept international students - but you have an advantage being an American as you wouldn't need to prove your language abilities. As long as you have a 3.0 or above you should be able to get into a decent university in the UK - but Oxford and Cambridge might be a bit out of your league (sorry).

    Source(s): Went the same route myself - and worked in UK education for years.

    You will need a passport for sure, not sure about visa, as I'm not American.

    Don't forget that tuition outside of your country is very high. Like $30 000 a year so start saving.

    You will need to get a visa to study and live there but it should be easy i think :) Have a great time!
