The BBC article seems to underestimate costs a bit. There is 4k in travel costs over 4 years assuming you visit home once a year. Some things cost more in Europe (computers maybe 15% more). Also one could argue you have less of a network of people if you go to school in one country but live in another. This could be a significant cost but hard to measure.
This being said it is certainly worth exploring. Anyone earned a law degree outside the US and then earned a LLM?
