To attend Undergraduate school in the UK for the price set by British Council, does one need to have residency
Does one need to have residency in the UK or Europe to go to school in the UK for the normal price set by the British Council, about 3000 pounds, or does one simply need European citizenship? For example, if an Italian citizen has residency in the USA, does he have to pay the international fee? Or does a British citizen with residency in India, does he have to pay the international fee?

It doesn't have as much to do with residency as it has to do with British or EU citizenship, that's what i've found. I'm Nigerian, started schooling here two years ago and i pay the international fees although i have residency here in London. If you are a citizen of the EU or Britain (you hold a passport), you will pay the home school fees. I heard that with a permanent residency you can get some sort of local government funding towards your fees which, in effect, is a discount on the international fees but i'm not on that. You would have to check with your local government council. Hope that was useful :-)!!
