    Opt for the USA.
    There are two types of schools in the US: private and state schools. As the name suggests, private schools are very expensive and state schools are cheaper in terms of tuition. There is a significant difference in fee between private and state schools. State School : University of Houston, Houston, TX.
    Private School : Carnegie Mellon University for MS
    Private School : Worcester Polytechnic Institute(WPI), MA
    Private School : Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI Graduate tuition

    MS in comp. science is best in USA as it all the "big data" happens there. The silicon valley offers great opportunities for start ups nd innovation. Though I am not sure how the political change will affect the international admissions but in comparison to UK it offers better post study visa opportunities.
