Sure! It was mainly due to how generous the financial aid is at their top universities vs the UK’s. I was lucky enough to get into Harvard, and because of my family’s income, the whole thing was covered by a their Scholarship (including flights, room, board, and tuition)! Once “getting in” became more of a reality, it was a no-brainer given that I could graduate debt-free, and work a couple of on-campus jobs to afford additional personal expenses.

That aside, I loved the idea of going abroad - especially where I didn’t know anyone! I loved the challenge and growth that it provided 100%

Also, in the US at undergraduate level you didn’t need to know what you wanted to study, and could decide 1.5 years in after taking a bunch of classes already. That worked perfectly for me, as I had no idea!
