Top UK school or job hunting

Hey guys,

Hopefully this can be answered rather quickly. My friend studied in the US and wants to move back to London(where she is from). She is currently working at a big 4 in the west coast. She hates the environment but doesnt mind the work. She got into a top UK school for this fall(LSE, warwick, oxbridge).

Her question is should she go back to school and drop 20k plus on tuition or just quit her current job and go job hunting in the UK? She doesnt mind going into audit btw.

Thanks.
