Well, it is partially the family thing but mostly it's because the opportunities after the degree are some of the best. Finance, oil industry, pharmaceuticals, environmental. The idea that lots of my family have done the same makes me nervous actually.
Yup! As far as I know, English students and people outside of Europe have to pay full fees. Yeah, I applied to one English uni but I'm glad I didn't choose it. I couldn't get comfortable spending money on non-necessary things if I knew what was waiting for me in four/five years.
It's no bother at all! We're in the USA right now for a family holiday and lots of people here have been asking. We (my parents and me + siblings + pets) moved to France in 2011, just ten minutes away from the center of Paris on the trains. Our suburb was actually on the train line. My Mum's work is a french company, she worked for a Scottish office and we moved with them. It's a lovely place.
