Choosing between LSE and other schools

Hello, I have been admitted to LSE MSc Finance and Private Equity but the program is quite expensive (34k pounds) What is more I am having trouble securing a loan or convincing my parents a loan would be worth it. My best bet when it comes to loans is one from Future Finance, but I would need to go to the UK to get a bank account and residency there. I have also been admitted to King's college and University of Amsterdam and I am awaiting 7 more answers (Bocconi, SSE, ETH Zurich, EPFL, Princeton, North Carolina State, Rutgers) I would be extremely grateful for any advice you guys might give me as I have 16 more days to take the LSE offer (need to deposit 3.5k pounds if I accept)
