"The UK punches above its weight in research and quality of education, yet the maximum fee universities can charge is around $14k per year."
My US alma mater, a middle-of-the-road state university, costs $9k per year for residents, or $21k per year for non-residents. A lesser university is $5k per year, and a junior college is $3.5k per year. (Tuition and fees only, room and board not included.)
- Lewisham 15y agoThis has only been true very recently. It used to be about $3k a year, and before that it cost nothing at all, and before that, you got paid to go to university with a grant. Only this year has the UK launched these awful fees (did you see the riots?) and now put itself in a position where students are now paying the same as some of the public schools in the US. If there was an easy way for UK students to get California residency, it would be cheaper for them to come here than go to a domestic university, as the overall cost of living is much lower.
