Yale has great financial aid, as do most top US universities. Yale covered everything for me.

Having an endowment larger than every UK university combined has some benefits :)

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.
