[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I was hoping to hear from someone w/ a kid there to confirm. Anyone out there?

From my research, I think w/ the 22K (23.5k in 2022) for uni fees, 10k for college and 10K for living all in UK sterling, it will be like $56k. Living expenses seem to be room, board, some going out, grocery shopping and some travel from what I can gather. Of course, travel would be more expensive from the US.

I am aware of the various costs for courses of study. (I listed the cost of DD's course in the post). The figures PP (who brought up the various costs) mentioned don't include college fees or living expenses. That's what I'm trying to sort out.

Yes, Cambridge does take undergrads from the US (to PP who said they didn't). Mine is finishing some entrance exams and has interview scheduled.  IB is the clearest means of applying (w/ predicted grades), but non-IB students w/ high SATs and 5 APs w/ 5s can be accepted to study as well.  Don't need the 5 5s in hand, but will need them by summer to confirm any offers. IB grades will need to be confirmed in summer as well.[/quote]

OP, what is the draw of Cambridge for your DC? Interested as we have two sets of good friends who are a mix of Ox/Bridge grads. All now work in the States. Neither set encouraged their DCs to apply to their unis, largely because they think it is a hindrance for employment in the States. Frankly, they discouraged them. One of the dads really lucked out with a tippy top corporate job but he is the first to say that luck played a huge role in his career. Two are academics/researchers in high demand fields, but that's pretty much the exception not the rule.

Seems to make sense for a post-grad degree, but possibly dicey for a BA/BS if planning to work in US.[/quote]
