Flights from/to UK/US during training

I'm off to EFT in January and having just obtained my visa, I'm looking to get some flights booked in the not too distant future.
Anyway, I just wondered what other people have done in terms of booking flights for going out and coming back to the UK? I expect to out there for around 3 months before I come back to the UK to complete the ATPL groundschool but I won't know exact dates for returning until nearer the time ie. until I'm well into my training.
Is it best to just book a one-way flight? I looked at flexible tickets but they were £1000!!
Having only been to the USA on holidays and always having a fixed return date, I've never had to consider this before.
Any suggestions from other people who have gone through this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Matthew
