screw the US, i want to transfer to a university outside the country..

[dsalt]

so i've been at MU for about a year and after reading a lot about colleges abroad I am really interested in attending a University in England.
Terrible idea? I would def. not describe myself as someone who is terribly attached to anything in my life right now...
I have read how inexpensive some english schools are, but what is the catch? housing prices?
Has anyone here gone from the US to study abroad...for a full degree?
What is your experience with this subject? Sorry for the lack of info, I am just looking for general info regarding this subject, as I have no idea where I would be looking to go specifically in England. Thanks guys.
