stay in the UK.

go back, it will probably be cheaper for you , the social life will be better , and your degree will be equally good

It depends on where you live eventually. The UK can (sometimes) be kinda snobby about where you were educated, and the US even more so. It also depends on what you want to study too! Degrees in Oz are very good, you will have a good way of life and probably be cheaper. Also if you plan to live overseas after you graduate you can probably avoid paying back HECS debt (if you have one) or pay back what you want. I lived in the UK for 5 years, it is VERY expensive as I'm sure you know. Another option would be to study in the US, financially this can sometimes be better (I dont know your financial situation) but if you are not well off, then in the US you can always earn good money waiting tables while you study, wheras in Oz and UK the money doing this is not as great. Good luck

The education you get in Australia is one of the best. It is also so much cheaper than the UK and you aren't expected to frink so much (unless you are studying engineering!). Think about your future and whether it would be better to go to a really great uni in Oz, or a less great uni in the UK. I mean if you end up in Aberyswyth in Wales, it may be better to go to a really great Aussie uni!
