Are there any Americans out there planning to go to business school in the UK, who intend to stay in the UK after school? What will you do and where will you live?
My wife is an EU citizen so we'd have a fairly simple time with the paperwork. Still just trying to decide if we'd really like to live in the UK post-MBA.

I'm planning on going to business school in Europe, although exact location is yet to be decided. Most of the schools to which I'm applying, however, are in the UK. And I am planning (hoping!) to stay in Europe after I finish school.
What I'll do and where I'll live are very good questions, ones that I'm trying to figure out as I go through the application process. So I, too, would be very interested in any input from others who have stayed or plan to stay in Europe post-MBA.
skahuh - what are you looking to specialize in? And what industry are you in now? Have you been to the UK before? Do you have specific concerns about living in the UK?

A question I'm interested in as well.
My wife is British, though not English, and we are strongly considering UK as a place to settle. I do like London, though I have reservations and ultimately it will come down to quality of life comparison.
The three most important ports for us are also roughly evenly distributed by flight time from London, so travel is less of an issue. Daily living expenses are relatively high, flats and houses are generally smaller with fewer amenities than similar cost accommodation in the US, the potential exists to avoid the cost of a car though it is unlikely we would forgo owning one. There are other more personal things as well, like the love of sunshine in California, mom's vying for access to grandchildren, love of the outdoors, etc...but those are less quantifiable, though at a personal level possibly more important.
Previously mentioned considerations aside, the most important issue in my opinion is lousy US citizen tax law. That is really the crux and something I know relatively little about. I understand there is an $80k or $90k living allowance write off, but I'm not entirely sure how that works. At its root, if there is any form of double taxation, it will be extremely difficult to make living in UK pencil. I would like to save a great deal of my income over the next decade to fund investments that will hopefully provide the real wealth for our family.
What are your pros and cons? Anyone share more light on US citizen taxation abroad?
