confused between Warwick and Ashoka

Hey all— I have 5 days to decide between going to Warwick for a degree in Economics, Politics, and International Studies and Ashoka University, which is a semi-target private liberal arts university in India. The total cost differential is around 1 crore INR, or ~100,000 GBP. My career ambitions are to either go into finance or consulting, but I don't have anything specific in mind, as I have not had any experience with either.

My main qualm about going to Warwick is the fact that the situation in the UK job market seems a bit dire right now, especially when considering the fact that I am an international student from an overrepresented background.

My parents thought process (and mine as well) is that if I were to return to India after I finish my bachelor's, is there a point to spending the extra money just for the experience of studying abroad?
