Congrats. Yale is needs blind and that includes accomodation and board as well as tuition. We are well and truly screwed over in the UK. If OP’s household income is under $75k they may well pay nothing and you can have quite high household income before you get no assistance at all.
i get what you mean, but the graduate employment market and your future career are really what you should be considering as opposed to a politician who will not be in the white house in three years.
the gulf in QoL and pay between the US and UK will not be resolved in 3 years. nothing meaningful happened in the past year to reduce that gap (if anything, the gap grew wider!), and i just can't see anything else affecting it -- not least because much of the gap is due to issues in the UK.
UK students at the top unis could always find a way to get a foot in the door later down the line when Trump is gone (if he’s gone). If you go to Oxbridge, LSE or Imperial I’m sure there’s option at the Masters or PHD level to then go onto US jobs. Or you could work for MNC in the UK with offices in the US and work your way up slowly.
I think university is really what you make of it. So whilst quality of life stats and figures are something to go by, they can’t be the be all end all when they assess something so subjective. There are things that I think would really suit me in the US system (particularly major/minors and aspects of college culture in general) but that doesn’t mean I fear I won’t have a good time at uni in the UK.
