I think that Scotland would be a not bad choice (Although I am obviously somewhat biased about that)
Speaks the language, plenty of nice scenery. Reasonably sensible political situation. (I would say overall better than america) Cool weather. Good public healthcare. Some nice uni towns with a fair bit of stem community. Downsides would include being further from america. (I don’t know where all your colleges are located, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot were in america, and a fair few were in Europe.)
I would recommend looking somewhere on the outskirts of Dundee, St Andrews, Edinburgh or Glasgow.
The legal situation around immigration makes the UK much less viable, IMO.
Of course, any location will exclude the majority of the world who aren’t allowed to live there. But the US has much of the existing community, and other options (EU, Canada) benefit from either a big population of a liberal migration policy.
