I have not been very active with my financial record keeping over the last 2-3 months mostly because I finished applications to various universities and also because I bought an old Volkswagen that I am repairing right now and that I plan to live in. I will give an update on that in a bit with some neat photos.
On the career/education side of things, I plan to do another master starting this fall term. Therefore I applied to the University of Oxford, as well as to Edinburgh, St. Andrews and lastly to the Karolinska Institute. I have no idea how I did it, but I got accepted to every single program I applied for. On the downside of my luxury problem, I now have to choose between all those good and renowned universities. After receiving an offer letter from the University of Oxford, the other places in the UK (Edinburgh and. St. Andrews) are sort of out for me.
I am now torn between an M.Sc. in Water Science, Policy and Management at Oxford and an M.Sc. in Global Health at the Karolinska Institute.
Below I have listed pros and cons of both places.

Until yesterday I thought that I would definitely choose Oxford if the tuition would not be so high. Then in the afternoon, the guys from the Karolinska Institute called me and during a very nice chat the incredibly high number of applications (800) for the program came up. Then again, it is easier to apply to the Karolinska than to Oxford (no 3 reference letters needed and no application fee). Anyhow, I have really no clue which place to choose even if I'd get a scholarship to Oxford.
Regarding future plans and the bigger picture, graduating from either university would allow me to get into politics as well as into all sorts of NGOs.
So, i just wanted to leave this here. Maybe some of you have can share their thoughts on my "problem" or bring my attention to something I have not considered yet.
How would you choose?
