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.

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?

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).
