I'm personally a tad worried about where higher education is going:

In essence, it's looking attractive, both financially and from a point of
travel/interest/being different to do a degree in the US.

With the cost of a BA/BSc running at 9k per year in England just for the
fees alone, I think a lot of future undergrads are going to:

1) Become rather picky - at they should at those rates;

2) Seriously consider another country, with the US being an obvious candiate
as it's English speaking.

Not just talking about trying to hit MIT, Berkley or Stanford - if you are
destined for a middle of the road but decent enough uni here, or you could
pick a lesser known, but decent one in somewhere sunny and cool in the US,
then why not...



You think education's free in the USA?
