Hello, I am currently having trouble deciding which university to attend for my MBA studies. I have received acceptance letters from Imperial College London, University College London, University of Oxford, and Kings College University. I am wondering which university would be more recognized in Singapore. Although I applied to the National University of Singapore (NUS), I withdrew my application after my interview because I found the attitude of the students and teachers to be unimpressive. While I acknowledge that NUS is a top-ranking university in Singapore and Southeast Asia, they do not rank in the top 10 globally.

The main reason I am hesitant to choose a university is the high tuition fees, as I come from a low-income family and will need to work to pay for my education. Currently, I am leaning towards Kings College University as the tuition fee is only 40k, which I can afford, whereas Oxford, ICL, and UCL have tuition fees ranging from 80-120k. I am unsure if it is worth it to attend these expensive universities for my future prospects in Singapore.

The qns should be why are you doing MBA in the first place?

you need to be clear about objective.

is it really about just academic recognition or is it for networking
