"I was born in London to an Iranian-British father and an American mother, but I was raised in Louisville, Kentucky. Throughout my childhood, my dad shared fond memories of growing up in the UK, and I became enamored by the idea of living there again."
"When deciding where to go for college, it was an easy decision to go to the UK, as I also hold a British passport. But where I grew up, it's not common to go abroad for college."
"I enjoyed student life in Scotland. At Edinburgh, I could study what I wanted - History - and didn't have to fiddle with other subjects, which would have been required at most liberal arts programs in the US."
"The price was also a huge advantage. I paid around $24,500 a year, compared to $67,446 for out-of-state tuition at the University of Chicago, where I had also applied."
