...thanks to a "citizenship-blind" aid policy at six U.S. colleges — Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Amherst and Dartmouth — British citizens in need can access the same grants as their American counterparts.</p>
<p>Starting next year, a student with no savings from a household with an average U.K. income of £30,000 ($50,000) will accrue around $20,000 in loans per year for tuition and living costs at Oxford. (Most undergraduate courses in the U.K. run for three years for a total of about $60,000 at that income level.) At Yale, the same student would be expected to contribute about $5,450 per year towards tuition and living costs for a total of $21,800 over four years. That's a staggering $38,200 difference in the price of a degree. Only when a British family starts earning an income of around £90,000 ($150,000) will Yale, Princeton and Harvard begin to cost as much as a top British university after U.K. tuition rates go up. Mehan says that even before the tuition hikes, Harvard's grants made it a better deal for him than Cambridge. "In the end, I think financial aid is what tipped the balance," he says...
