This is not at all the case in England unfortunately - I guess I really should've considered studying elsewhere in the EU where fees are better.
With that said, I still think I've got a better deal than most US students since the fees there just seem to be ridiculous.
> I then moved to the US debt free
This is something I've considered, but I feel like I'd miss being an EU citizen, the NHS and the culture etc. How have you found it since you moved, if you don't mind me asking?
- dudul 9y agoI'm still a EU citizen, I just live in the US :) Health insurance is definitely the most mind-blowing thing to me as a non-American. Even after more than 10 years I just don't get how people can put up with this crazyness. I've been lucky to never be unemployed, and I always had good coverage so it's never really been a concern. I miss a few things from Europe, and there are things I have troubles getting use to in America. The omnipresence of consumerism is a little difficult to deal with. But otherwise, a lot of great things. And professionally, I wouldn't have achieved half what I did had I stayed in Europe.
