[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In that case, lets say your kid gets in one of the schools you mentioned, Stanford, MIT or Wharton but no financial aid or very little. How are you going to justify a $80k+ vs £9.3k?[/quote]

That is a tough one. For us UK citizens, outside of Oxbridge is a full pay degree from Stanford/MIT/Wharton worth $300k more than a degree from Durham, St. Andrews or Warwick? As a Brit, I personally do not think so. But lets see what happens.[/quote]

There are only a handful of schools that are worth that kind of money.  Either for the education or the reputation.  Harvard, Stanford, MIT for me.  MIT is the only one where the education might be worth the extra cost.[/quote]

That’s very subjective and dependent on preferences. For my kids, education in the UK (or Canada) would be mostly free (about 20 percent of cost) due to expat benefits. Yet one of my kids had no interest in locking themselves into a field of study (which is what the UK system involves). So they ended up in T10 in the US, and we have no regrets paying the full cost.
