where should I go for uni?

hi,
I've currently got offers from Warwick, Loughborough, Bath and then the University of Washington in the USA for politics/international studies. My top choices are Washington and Bath but idk where I want to go. I have no idea what I want to do in the future just that I would rather not be a politician maybe work in a NGO or something like that. Anyone who went to Bath or somewhere in the USA, could you please give me some advice for which to go to like pros and cons. my dad wants me to go to the US because he thinks it would be better for my future.

thanks

Does the offer from Washington include full or near-full financial support? If not, I would think it's very (prohibitively to most) expensive compared to your UK options. Conversely if you have full financial support it's probably a far better financial deal to go to Washington.

A Politics degree has nothing to do with working as a politician. Its 'brain-training' - not a vocational training course. There are plenty of careers within the charity / NGO sector or Whitehall that do not require a degree in Politics. You seem to be looking at this from totally the wrong end of the telescope. So, is this more about the show-off factor about going to Uni in the US - and why anyone would do that at the moment is something you do need to think carefully about - or do you actually want to study an academic degree in this subject?
