Episode Details

College doesn’t have to follow the traditional U.S. path to be successful, affordable, or fulfilling. In this episode, Shellee Howard welcomes Jackie, founder of The UK Study Expert, to discuss how American students can earn degrees in the UK — often in less time and at a lower cost — while gaining independence, global perspective, and career-ready skills. Jackie explains how the UK education system differs from the U.S., which students are the best fit for international study, and how families can navigate concerns around safety, healthcare, housing, and academics. They also break down how majors like law, engineering, international relations, and creative fields translate back to careers in the U.S. This episode is a must-listen for parents who want more options, less stress, and a smarter strategy for helping their teen become truly college ready. 🎁 Episode Gift & Contact   🎓 College Planning Support for Parents Want help organizing next steps and avoiding costly college mistakes?   📘 Workbook Gift: https://go.collegereadyplan.com/podcast-gift-workbook   🤝 Interested in Collaborating with College Ready?
