If you want a quality education at a reasonable price most kids are better off going to a UK university.

How much does it cost? When I looked at Cambridge, it seemed like the cost would be about $70k for US students, which isn't exactly a bargain. But it was confusing because you have to add it all up, hoping you're catching it all, and convert it to dollars.

Also, how do kids do study abroad at one of these institutions? My son has a friend who went to Cambridge over the summer.

Many US colleges have study abroad agreements with UK schools for a semester or year abroad.

As far as costs for UK schools to include tuition an accommodations with meals here are five:

imperial College - $66K
London School of Economics - $48K
University College London - $40K
University of Edinburgh - $50-60K depending on major
University of St Andrews - $46K

Keep in mind that UK schools might have more scholarships. They might look more expensive on paper than other options but could turn out to have a lower net cost.

That was certainly NOT our experience with Cambridge and Oxford. They want American dollars. That's why these programs exist!

But lower-ranked UK universities do have some merit aid. Maybe not as much as American schools would have, but a lot more than EU schools offer.

Please send links.
I do know the tuition for some of them is automatically lower. So York St. Johns might charge 9500 per year to UK residents and then only 12000-13000 pounds to overseas students, instead of the 19,000-33,000 charged at more competitive universities (higher cost is for medicine)

My DC received a £7,000 merit offer from the University of Glasgow. If I recall correctly, this would have been about 1/3 of the total tuition bill, not including room and board.

That's excellent. Do you mind sharing her stats and choice of major? I know Glasgow is #3 in the country for Psychology.

Perhaps, but my impression having gone through the UK application process for Oxbridge (you must pick one) is that DONT expect anything re merit. We did take our a federal (US) loan which is available to American students at Oxford and Cambridge.

I taught in a German university and am American-German. I think she will need more than 4 years of the language to be successful in a liberal arts degree there. Political science will require a lot of writing in German, as well. I'd suggest trying to do a semester there is possible before deciding. The culture is also different- the universities don't tend to be like little towns unto themselves, and while there may be some student apartments, the first year "dorm life" isn't the same because many people just rent their own apartments. The vibe is not the same as a US college experience.

Yeah, unless you're going to attend Manchester Metropolitan and significantly improve their stats, you're not getting ANY scholarships whatsoever. You're looking at this backwards.

Edinburgh for sure needs to be on your list
Durham
Lse

Bocconi

Germany sucks for undergrad

If you can speak German, go to Switzerland instead

Plus 3 years

Not going to get scholarships but less expensive than $80K SLACs and other privates and some out of state flagship costs.

Good news- if you get into Cambridge, you will be able to cope with ghis level of mathematics…

Oh, and $70k is a bargain for Cambridge.

Maybe consider The Netherlands as well - they have some excellent universities with programs in English. For example, the universities of Leiden and Utrecht
