What course were you contemplating on young man? Is this your first time to go to College? If so, it will be very difficult for you as a foriegn student. The cost would be very expensive. Just few weeks ago, 4 of my friends were offered a place in Thames Valley University, they were all sponsored by the owner of the Hotel were they are all working. Only one of them was given the visa and three were refused. The ECO had to consider all the probabilities and your circumstances as well. If you have much money to show them you can support yourself til you finish the course, chances are, you will be given the visa. And if you already have a Bachelor's Degree in the Philippines, then that's another chance. But Aromulos is right, do not trust them. You know how the system works in the Philippines. Cheers!
