Advice on LLM

Hi All, I'm lucky enough to hold offers to read an LLM at University of Cambridge and at Trinity College, Dublin. The fees at Cambridge are considerably more, so I wonder if it's value for money... do you think their LLM will pay-off more in the long-term through career opportunities?

    I just checked and an LLM is £34k at Cambridge which is absurdly expensive, aren't there funding options from the government for Masters courses for up to £11,836: link and there is the Cambridge trust that could offer scholarships although the deadline to apply was in January: link

    Also, are you a local or international student?

    In terms of career prospects then it's a no-brainer to go for Cambridge unless it would be completely unaffordable
