I am in a bit of a dilemma in choosing between Norway (Got admission into Stavanger) and Manchester UK. I am presently looking through both countries from a cost-benefit perspective and being able to achieve the end goal of settlement.

In my òpinion the factors you should consider are:
1) Affordability and flexibility- I want to believe the fees for the norwegian school is cheaper except if you aŕe on scholarship in the uk. Life in uk is also expensive in respect of price of food,data, rent etc
2) Culture shock- it may be easier for you to blend into the uk culture easier than Norway,especially language,
3) working while study,- check the rates online and see which pays more ,and also the prerequisites
4) post study work- opportunities abound in both places but this depends on your field of study , also consider earnings in the two

If you are able to research more these aforementioned, i think you will be able to make a better choice.

For me, I prefer Norway, it is more family oriented *my opinion too*
Post study work visa

UK = better lifestyle
Norway = more guaranteed path to citizenship, higher pay

Please why do you say Norway has a more guaranteed path to citizenship. My thoughts are that 2 years post study has the potential of helping with settlement in the UK considering the language barrier in Norway.

I was just about to type this.

OP, forget UK. They'll throw you away after your training. Getting a UK job is almost impossible! Speaking from experience!

This isn't about head it's about reality.

If I were to choose, I'll choose Norway over UK...
