Even if the article was meant for british students, Europe is still a good alternative for a good education.

The fees for internationals are lower but you can expect the same level of standard in a legit European university as with a normal British university. Sure, these countries wouldn't be as multicultural as the UK but it has its own charms to offer. Those who are seeking to avoid malaysian kampungs should give continental europe a try. Being the only malaysian makes you more valuable in that community.
