Studying in the UK
The United Kingdom is becoming an attractive study abroad destination for US students given a couple of notable reasons. There are around 39,851 US students going to UK for their studies. The most obvious reason is that there is no language barrier and American students find it easy to adjust to universities in the UK and to life outside of colleges. Another reason which is becoming a big factor recently is the high cost of attending college in the US. Many American students are enrolling at British universities which is significantly cheaper than US colleges. The number of US applicants submitting a UCAS application to attend a British university for an undergraduate degree has risen by more than 7 percent over the last five years, according to the British Council. While studying in the UK is exciting, US students should buy good student insurance while outside the US. The US domestic health insurance will not be adequate outside US borders, and students should not be handicapped by medical expenses while studying overseas.
UK students in the US
There are about 11,500 students from the United Kingdom currently studying in the US. More than half of the UK students are in Undergraduate programs, while about a quarter are in Graduate programs and about 10% are in the Optional Practical Training (OPT) student visa status. Students in the US from the United Kingdom should buy good student medical insurance. While colleges offer student medical insurance, they are quite expensive. The international student insurance plans that we provide are more affordable when compared to university insurance even though they provide comparable coverage. The OPT student insurance plans that we offer are also very popular with international students on the OPT status.
