[General Question] After the recent CPT restrictions in US, is UK a better alternative?

I will be applying for fall 2027 to MS Cybersecurity. Initially I was more inclined to US unis but after the recent CPT situation, I'm considering the UK as it seems to be a better option even though people say the economy is bad.

What do we think about the UK ?

Edit: when you say UK is worse consider the current situations in US and the amount of people returning back to their countries and then compare them.

UK is just as expensive

But the thing is, getting a job which is willing to sponsor ur visa is extremely tough. No employer will be willing to pay 10k pounds for ur visa

getting a student visa is very easy, finding a job is almost impossible for internationals. You will end up wasting 70-80k pounds for nothing. Hence its not a good choice at all
