Study in the UK, or study in the UAE?

Becca:
Wow, mentalfiction, you must be a very smart girl to have been accepted to all those UK universities!  :) Always keep that in mind. It's not so bad in the UK, and you would have a great education there. But then again, you could get a great education in your own country. However, like you said, you would be able to get a job anywhere if you study in the UK, especially if you're good at what you do. My own mum was like yours at first. She was very insistent that I study medicine in one of the local unis. She was quite sceptical when, one day, I told her about applying to UK unis through UCAS. She told me that it was too far away etc.. However, she came to realise that it would be a great opportunity for me to study in the UK, and she finally relented. She's now very supportive of me studying in the UK. Does your dad know that you were accepted into those unis? If he doesn't, try telling him, since he doesn't mind you studying in the UK ( but maybe it would be better if your mother weren't around while you do that  ;) ) Discuss with him if he can afford to send you to the UK, and if he can, both of you can approach your mum and try to reassure her. No doubt she's just scared that her little girl may get hurt there or something, so maybe you can arrange to Skype with her frequently while you're in the UK, so that she would know that you're all right. If you can, try to get more supportive family members to talk with her together with your dad, so that she would not feel so apprehensive about you going to the UK. Pray hard too, so that God can soften her heart a little...  :)

I really hope this helps you... All the best to you, you smart girl!  :-*

@ Romeesa-Chan: I know :) I've already assured myself that there's a pretty good chance of me staying here so I shouldn't get disappointed if  the answer is UAE.

@MKh: I'll try posting here in Semptember 2012, to let y'all know where I'm studying too :D

@Becca: Yeah I would like to discuss this with my dad, but he's home less often than my mother is, so it's almost impossible to talk to him in private. He knows that I've been accepted, and he doesn't mind the fees, but my dad is very... passive. He's left me and my brother to make our own decisions, so whenever I ask him if I should go the UK, his answer is usually "Do whatever you want to~" Makes life a lot harder that way heh.
And thanks ^-^ Not the smartest actually, but I get by :D

Great Mentalfiction, you got acccepted to 3 unis of the UK. I personally think it would be sensible for you to do your postgraduate in the UK and do your undergrad in one of the reputable universities of the UAE (I'm sure there are many) :)

benk:
Maybe I'll try to UK but what's the difference between UK and UAE?  ;D I have no time to search the difference because I'm busy studying bridge engineering and truss bridge

Crooked:
Anywhere but London. There aren't many jobs available in London. =/
