Hello, I searched the forums for information on this and couldn't find anything.

I'm a US Citizen who's planning to get an MSc in London in 2008.

I understand that as a US Resident/Citizen I will need to borrow a US loan in US dollars. What I'm concerned about is the weakness and volatility of the US dollar and how this may affect me.

If I take out a large student loan in USD, I think I would be fine paying it back if I was earning a Euro or GBP salary* as long as the USD remained weak or continued to decline. However, if the USD rebounded wouldn't this inflate my debt?

I'm hoping someone who's well versed in economics & currencies can give me their view on this issue.

Also, I have a British boyfriend who could very well become my British husband in a couple of years, so a possible solution is to eventually take out a British loan to pay off the US debt while the dollar is weak.

Thanks in advance.

*I am planning on staying in the UK for at least a year on the international graduate scheme, which may switch over to a HSMP or spouse visa later.
