I have a dilemma. I am graduating college this year and my dream is to study in London for my masters (I'm not from UK but live in Europe). I am taking a break before applying bc I am fairly young and want to do internships and travel for a year before. I already have an internship lined up for the fall and my plan was to go travel after (Asia cause I've never been). I would use the money I get from that internship and the money I will get as a grad present. Now here comes my question, I already talked to my parents about moving to London and they aren't huge fans bc it is so expensive. Realistically it would be around 100k including tuition (30K-40k) and living costs. We do technically have the money to finance my studies but it wouldn't be without restrictions elsewhere, they would much rather have me study in a cheaper city since there are many other good universities in Europe which are cheaper. But I dont see myself anywhere else and am very set on London. I am also positive ab getting into at least one of my choices since there are many to choose from for a MiM. I was also thinking about taking out a loan so my parents don't have to pay tuition. Should I cancel my travel plans to save up some money for London to make it easier on my parents? Find a new dream? Is it worth it to spend that much money for a year abroad? I don't know!!!

P.S.: I would ofc be open to staying there after I finish my studies and pay for it myself, if I get a job offer but I know the job market is really tough rn.
