While it may be cheaper and more convenient to go to Canada and Mexico, they will always be close by. My advice would be study in London and Dublin regardless of the cost. You can cut costs elsewhere in life but going to the UK during your college years and having the opportunity to visit other parts of Europe relatively easily will be priceless. Regardless of the game opportunities the relationships and connections you build at school in the uk will leave you with potential contacts and friends all over Europe. As a Mexican American it's fairly easy to get around Mexico and to find contacts there so take the uk route. As a college guy you can take some low interest loans, smoke less weed, drink cheaper alcohol, and get a job in a restaurant to help pay for bills/limit expenses but you have your whole life to worry about that. As they say, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush... Take the opportunity to go live in the UK now as you may not have another one like it. Either way you will have fun and I think you'll have more of an "exotic" factor in the UK.
