Time To Consider US Universities?

With university tuition fees in the UK set to rise from the current rate of just above £3000 to anywhere between £6000 and £9000, is now the time to consider a post-18 education over the pond?
Historically for British students an Ivy League education has been the preserve of the very wealthy but now the gap in fees seems so much narrower that perhaps it's worth considering...
Tuition fees at a US College can be anywhere between £12000 for a public college to £20000 for a private one.
Benefits of studying in America include studying a range of subjects in the first year before deciding later on a single subject in which to 'major' as well as the furthering of your own personal development by living in a different culture. Career opportunities in the US may well be improved too by having a 'home-grown' degree. For further information visit the Fulbright Commission website: www.fulbright.co.uk
