Hello everyone.

I am an international student who got accepted (unconditional offer) by these uni:

University of Central Lancashire- MSc Finance and Devolopment (£9,450) (12,000)

University of Glasgow- MSc Development Studies (£12,250 (15,500+)

University of Sheffield- MA International Development (£13990) (17,7000+)

University of Manchester- MSc International Development (Economics and Management of Rural Development) (£12,900) (16,400+)

University of Birmingham- MSc International Development (International Political Economy and Development)(£12,750) (16,200+)
MSc Development Management (Public Economic Management and Finance) (£12,750)(16,200+)

City University London- MA International Politics and Human Rights (£11,500)
- MA Global Poltical Economy (£12,000) (15,200+)

The thing that makes me undecisive is whether I should choose a world renowned university but is more expensive or a lesser known university which is cheaper. (I need to pay the full tuition cost by getting a bank loan, and I'm not enthusiastic about it)

I have visited London previously and there seems to be more jobs/internship opportunities available. Also, my cousin lives near London and I have a couple friends there (and a friend who knows where to find vouchers with discounts and free goodies). So, accomodation would be cheaper.

If you were in my place, what would you do?

Generally when investing in something it is better to buy into quality. The marginally higher cost of some of the better universities in that list is likely to more than pay off over a full career.
