[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]

Depends on the country, and having an EU passport. [/quote]

Also an EU passport won't help you in the UK (unless Irish) but also, see comment about residency. I know a UK citizen who is still paying overseas fees since she grew up in thr US.[/quote]

Exactly. I have two kids in UK colleges. They were born in the UK to UK parents and have UK and US passports. We raised them in the US. Unless they had spent the last 3 yrs living and schooling in the UK they qualify as International Students. This is very hard to circumnavigate.[/quote]

Similar. But the rules aren’t hard and fast. Some universities will offer home fees and I guess that might be if they want to attract a particular candidate. I know this was the case for two British families in DC. But you won’t know this is advance. [/quote]

What you're talking about is special circumstances. I know about that because I benefitted myself with a grad degree and paid "home fees" as a "trailing spouse". you have to show repeat travel history to the UK / a family address in the UK where you always stay and confirm the fact that if your DH were not working in the US you'd all live in the UK. It's a long form. We considered this route but since Covid had done very little travel to the UK and had lost both my parents (and with them, the family address).[/quote]
