The precise schools’ names are irrelevant, for they’re all on par academically, whether they’re in England or the USA.
No, they are the most important thing. If you want to ask for advice, you should not cripple peoples’ ability to give you advice by withholding vital information. The best thing that you could hope to get out of this thread is some surprising information (good or bad) about one of the schools, which makes it a clear winner or loser.
The crux of my confusion is not what school to pick, but what to study and in which country.
Anyhow, in the USA I’m thinking some liberal arts colleges: Berea, Bowdoin, Bates, Carleton, Harvey Mudd. England—I got an offer at Durham for Biology.
Durham is widely viewed in England as second only to Oxford and Cambridge. (For some specific subjects, Warwick, LSE, Imperial etc. do better, but Durham does well overall).
1: The precise schools’ names are irrelevant, for they’re all on par academically, whether they’re in England or the USA.
2: True, but in the USA, for instance, I have more means to educate myself in school, as opposed to Hungary. Also, consider the learning environment!

From a financial standpoint, Harvey Mudd may be a good choice; its graduates tend to do pretty well (I am in no way affiliated w/ Harvey Mudd, though I was accepted there): http://www.payscale.com/best-colleges/top-us-colleges-graduate-salary-statistics.asp
I can’t really speak to the others.
Regarding biology vs. medicine, how well does medicine pay in Hungary? How transferable is a Hungarian medical degree?
