Dont forget that some youngsters finish college (6th form) before their 18th birthday in the UK, same as some finish just before their 19th birthday depending when their birthdays are. Guessing USA is the same.

Re: HELP-UK college fees
H,i our youngest son had not lived in the UK for more than 3 years....he had 3 interviews at colleges of his choice and decided on which one he liked best and started in September 2010, we were not asked for any fee's etc by any of these colleges even though the all three colleges were informed of our sons overseas education.

Quick question, how old are you? Colleges of Further Education are free to all permanent residents if under the age of 19. This is the same as school.
College courses are chargeable to most people over this age, even if they have never left UK soil - unless they are in receipt of benefits etc where certain allowances/reduced fees may apply.

Re: HELP-UK college fees
Depends on the course, some courses, it probably won't make much difference if the uni is looking to charge the max per year for in-tuition of £9K a year....the major difference is being able to get government backed student loans or not and then having to pay up front.
