You are currently living in the US, right? Do you think the US would have so many undocumented immigrants if it was easy to acquire US citizenship or permanent resident status? Don’t expect that to be much easier in other countries…

You can find the eligibility criteria for Australian citizenship here: Immigration and citizenship Website;

The UK explicitly says that you’d need to live there for three years before starting college, or you would need to make a convincing case that you’d be also living in the UK if you were not attending a university there. You also cannot be on a student visa if you want to pay home fees. I can think of two scenarios to satisfy both demands: you could marry a UK citizen, or maybe your parents would qualify for a permanent resident visa and your whole family could relocate to the UK.
