mtbcThere are a few reasons why we decided to live in Britain for several years. Our children were born in Ohio and I definitely wanted to add a European perspective to their experience so that they could then better choose where to live and at least understand more of the world. They also have family over here whom they barely knew. Of course, all that was before Brexit threatened to make it more difficult for British citizens to live and work in the European Union.
Our eldest is now accepted to attend a Scottish university and given how I moan about the weather, house prices, etc. in Britain, it is a sweetener to note that the Scottish Government pay the tuition fees. For the other expenses they provide a student loan for which the current representative APR is just 1.75%. For repayments one pays 9% of one's income over (currently) £18,330 per annum or, if returning to the US, (currently) $18,935.
