Yale or Oxrbidge?

I'm torn between doing Political Science at Yale or doing Law at Oxbridge.

Both degrees interest me immensely. Both are pretty expensive for international students. Which degree would offer the best opportunities - professional and otherwise? Which is most worth the money?
Did you get accepted by any of them?
i think hrvard is the best actually
As above unless you have offers from them this is a moot question, as you can apply to both Yale and Oxford or Cambridge.

Note that there is usually no point doing a law degree unless you actually intend to enter legal practice, since if you plan to do anything else any other degree will suffice, probably be easier to get a good result in, and likely be more interesting. If you do plan to go into law, then given it's jurisdictional you should normally aim to qualify in the country in which you aim to practice.
There's not much point in considering that until you have an offer from both. Also, without financial aid, Yale is much more expensive than Oxbridge.
