“I have just heard that the tuition of U. Cambridge is only about $15,000”.

This is only the case for domestic and EU students, not internationals. The tuition and fees are about 23K pounds (~$33K) and total COA is around $50K for international students. Still cheaper than private full pay here, and you generally save a year too since most courses are 3 years. Other U.K. universities can be a bit less, in the $40K-$45K range, though note that Scottish courses are 4 years.

These universities are cheaper because of relatively large lectures and less support staff for handholding, plus there are none of the luxury facilities (e.g. sports centers and high end catering) available at US schools.
