You might think that studying abroad is expensive, but UK universities charge up to £9,250 a year, so studying at home isn't necessarily cheaper than studying abroad at degree level or going abroad on a year-long exchange.  In some European countries, such as France and Germany, tuition fees are lower and the cost of living is the same as in the UK.  After Brexit, British students will no longer have fee-paying status at European universities, but some may charge low tuition fees to international students.
