[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious what motivates most applicants. Are there advantages? Or do you typically have a family reason?

DD is a couple years out, but we are considering a within-US move for in-state residency purposes and wondering what else to consider. [/quote]

1. [url]Less expensive (even with the flights back and forth)[b]
2. We have family in the other country our kids applied to[/quote]

Not anymore it’s $100k a year read posts above.[/quote]

The $100K figure was only for certain majors at Oxford. International tuition and fees for most top ranked UK universities is considerably less than at Oxford.  [/quote] International tuition at the only other top ranked UK uni is not significantly less.[/quote]

[b]So you think Oxford and Cambridge are the only UK universities worth considering?  If [/b]so, then I guess you think HYPSM are the only ones to consider in the U.S.? [/quote]

No one said that. Stop being a jerk.[/quote]

The point is that focusing on the cost of Oxford and Cambridge (which educate no more than 1% of UK university students) is a red herring; there are a number of highly regarded UK universities that cost considerably less than those two universities and that provide an excellent education. [/quote]
