Is Uni worth the debt?

Hi everyone, I am going on to study Law and aim to do a masters (masters hopefully abroad due to the huge costs in the UK).

I have 2 options. The first one being to study Law here in the UK, or in Poland. Bear in mind that I am fluent in the language, as most of my family lives there.

Just for perspective. Uni in Poland will cost me 2100 EUR for tuition per YEAR vs £9250. However, I do not recieve a 'loan'. But it is considerably cheaper, and to add, accomodation is about £120 a MONTH vs £6.8k which I will pay for the year in the UK, so also considerably cheaper.

Is uni in the UK worth the debt?

Does anyone have any good advice??

Law is fairly country-specific. The law you learn in Poland is unlikely to qualify you to practice law in the UK, and vice versa, so you need to check that out first.

Then you need to consider what sort of law you want to practice and be realistic about your prospects, unless you are doing law for its academic potential rather than to practice.
