There is no 'special process' as such in regards to actually applying to a college/university in the United Kingdom. Firstly you need to decide what it is that you wish you study and then find a University which suits and meets your needs. There are plenty of ways to find which University is right for you, it could be based on the schools academic record, financial costs or maybe even via location, perhaps there is a certain city you want to live in or near. It is not harder for international students to get in, although preference goes to U.K. citizens first. You will however need to take the SAT/ACT - the scores you need will depend on which university you are applying for. Just remember that each University as different prices for their tuition and the further south you go, the higher the cost of living is. You should budget for £7,000 - £10,000 just for living cost alone (accommodation, books, food transportation, medical insurance and other expenses). Tuition costs will be extra on top of this. If you have been accepted to a university you will then need to apply for a student visa, this is done at the British embassy in the United States. Below I am going to provide you with a few links that will you give you some very useful information.
