Re: Going back to uk and stuyding
For a UK or EU citizen the difference is that with the OU your purpose of being in the country is to do work (or diligently seek work) and you can take an OU degree on the side. In three years (minimum to BA or BSc Ordinary unless there is prior credit that can be applied).
With the other Universities your primary purpose of residence is to study, and work is incidental (instead of the other way round).
Let me say it again, an option is to move to Scotland, take employment (part time minimum wage would do) and to take a maximum OU workload. With OU, fees are based on residence, not prior residence. Of course you won't get a student loan from HMG in these circumstances.

Re: Going back to uk and stuyding
that is for sure I feel Scoutland will help.no need for the student loans anyway but being classified as a overseas student is kind a harsh:P HMG is doing more than enough
