OK, so just to stART off here's some backround info on the school sytems. UK: You go to primary and secondary school. Then when you're done with secondary you go to get your A levels, at the age of 16-18.(2 years) USA:You go to ghischool, graduate hgihschool at 18, then go to college. I really WANT TO GO TO A COLLEGE IN the UK. Like i'm sure of it. I'm in 9th grade, and here's the catch. I'm deciding between graduating highscool and trying to get in to a uni in the UK(it's hard to get in if overseas and about 3 times as much money) Or, after 10th grade going to get my A levels in the UK, so i can get in to a uni in the UK easier, and A TON less money. Which one do you think i should do? Either way, i'm getting a better education for the future. It's just that i am goin to live in the UK when i'm older, and so i think i should go to et my A levles at 16, because ppl out there know what it is, but i'm not sure. what do you think

Think really carefully...the UK is not a fantastic place to be...expensive, crowded, miserable weather, hard to get a house. Are you sure? If so, I would get over here and do the A levels first

I think the easiest way to go about it would be to stay in the US and go to a private school which offers the IB (International Baccalaureate) course, which is accepted by UK universities, and in some ways preferred over A-levels. I think this would actually be a good deal cheaper than moving to England to finish High School. I don't really understand why you think it would be cheaper to go to uni in England if you lived there for a couple of years before hand. Do you have dual citizenship or something? Do you have family in the UK? I don't think going to a foreign country on your own at 16 would be a very good idea, In fact, I'm not sure if it would be allowed under immigration law.
