[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you guys only thinking of London?  Other places outside of London aren't as expensive.  I have relatives in the UK, not in London, and the real estate prices aren't *that* bad.

As for the prospects of a job in the US, I think it would depend on the field.  Maybe times have changed a lot, but I know several people with just UK undergrads that have gotten jobs here in the past 15 yrs.[/quote]

Most of the south is pretty expensive. And the rest of the country is cheap for a reason.
The weather in the south is fine, and it many ways better than here - at least it is less extreme. But once you go up north the weather is significantly worse. even a 4 degrees centigrade average temp diff makes the difference between pleasant summers and miserable ones. And London offers cultural life - and airports for easy minibreaks in europe - that the rest of the country can't match. Too bad it is being turned into a playground for Russian oligarchs and other assorted kleptocrats.[/quote]
