[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, say room and board is about 10k per yr. That is 30k plus 123k =153k . Say $188k total.

Tell me a university in the US where u can get better than or an equivalent to an Oxford degree in Economics for $188k including room and board?[/quote]

Nowhere is room and board $10k for a year.  It’s $20k per year.  Then you have added travel costs, so that’s probably $5k per year minimum.  Then all other costs at $5k.  Again probably too low.

So, 40,000 pounds =$48,000. So total COA is at least $78k per year so that’s $234k

Someone mentioned Berkeley or UCLA would be equivalent and if you have taken all the APs you need for Oxford you could be in a position to graduate in three years at those places as well as a Michigan if that’s what you want.

The delta is just much less than it used to be just two years ago.[/quote]

Yes -- I heard that Oxbridge was looking to set fees for international students just below HYP.  So less of a deal than it used to be.

The LSE, though, which is also elite and has high brand recognition, charges all students the same regardless of nationality.

They lay out tuition + living expenses as L45,000 per year, or about $56,500.  I think more of their degrees are four years, though, not three. . . . [/quote]
