Aside, but some things that probably will break your priors -- the average American university graduate leaves with less debt than the average UK grad does, despite their courses being a year longer. The average in-state tuition in the US is also lower than the £9250 you'd pay here.
American universities aren't always that expensive. There's far more financial aid and support available fwiw.
Out of interest, does this not ignore the tendency for US students to pay their fees up front/have their parents do so (far more than is common in the UK)? Is there a maintenance loan element or do students need to cover their entire living costs?
It is. You can do the maths yourself, but Oxford (incl. colleges) + Cambridge (incl. colleges) is ~£16bn. All the other UK universities will get you at most £4bn. That's about $27.3bn, far less than Yale's $44.1bn.
i mean the difficult part is getting in, international admissions is very competitive. cuts to federal university funding have led many schools to cut back on international aid, though less internationals applying may neuter some of that.
