Is it worth it to go to school and move to the UK from the United States


Is it worth it to go to school and move to the UK from the United States?
I have always wanted to live in the United Kingdom. If i am going to do it, then i think that the best time would be to do it when at school so i could get a degree in the country. I am planning on being a doctor. Is it worth it to go to school there and move there?

? I don't understand? You do know that Britain aka United Kingdom is just a myth right? You cannot physically go to it...

yeah, it is a good idea. first, UK schooling is way better than the US school standard and the British accent is so PIMP..... and well they don't call football as soccer tehe

I think it makes more sense to do your undergraduate education here. You need a lot more information about both the British education system (how your US high school preparation translates there, how medical school admissions work there, etc.) and about living in England. You are presumably 18-19 years old, so "always" is a pretty short time. You would not want to move to London, find out it's not what you imagined and want to move back, and then find that your life and education are greatly complicated by having made the move. Look for colleges that offer "study abroad" programs in England. You may be able to spend a semester or a full academic year there without making the huge commitment of moving permanently. That's enough time to get a sense of whether you REALLY want to live there.

All depends on what school you go to

You may want to read a few books of the subject and ask guidance counselors. The more fun thing to do would obviously be to go to school in the UK.
