well its goods if u can study overseas..however, by putting the burden of debt on ur family when u have another option to save them all the trouble is not right in my opinion.... hence i would opt for the local u... can always travel overseas on ur own account later to do ur master if u are keen... at end of the day ur degree just helps u land ur first job... after that its all on u to drive ur career

that is generally true, unless you intend to work professionally overseas.....then the right basic degree is crucial.....
