Go to a UK university? I'd rather study abroad

With the UK's tuition fees set to rise and international education standards continuously improving, is there really any point in expat children returning to their home country to study for a degree?
Some British universities like Nottingham,  now have campuses overseas

In the past, looking at foreign higher education was something only other countries did, like the new powers of China and India, or the Asian tigers. British expat parents who had to school their children overseas only did so on the understanding that this was in preparation for when they returned to study at a British university. But not anymore. Now, a far greater proportion of British students are studying for a degree abroad: 22,000 in 2010 or 1.7 per cent of the total (compared with just 1.4 per cent of Chinese and one per cent of Indian students).
