Hi! Thanks so much for the advice, I did end up choosing UBC!

Hi everyone! So I got my acceptance into these two programs and now I am struggling to choose between them 1. University of British Columbia, Master of Public Policy and Global Affairs (professional-oriented) 2. LSE, MSc International Migration and Public Policy (seems more theoretical) In April, I decided to go to UBC already but yesterday I was accepted to LSE, which was my dream school when I was a teenager. LSE is only one year and the tuition fee is cheaper, but the living cost is crazy higher in London. If I stay in Canada, I can just live at home and don't have to worry about visa/rent all those stuff. So the total cost is about the same. My biggest concern about going to the UK is that I will have to come back to Canada anyway, and as I am working at the government rn I'm not sure if my connections won't be that strong if I am away for 1.5 yrs. I still have some time to make a decision but I am struggling a lot. Please help me out on this, any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone! I got my acceptance from LSE yesterday, now I am struggling to choose between UBC MPPGA (Public Policy and Global Affairs) and LSE IMPP (International Migration and Public Policy) If the cost is about the same and I will have to stay in/come back to Canada after graduation anyways, is UBC a better choice? I am also working at the government rn so I'm worried about losing my connections if I go to the UK, and not sure if LSE will make a big difference. LSE was my dream school when I was a teenager, but now I feel like I have to choose between reality vs. dream. I am hoping to get some advice and any ideas will be appreciated!
