This story does not make any sense! How can a 14 year old migrate to the U.K. by herself? Why can’t she go to a Portuguese University? If she meets the criteria and comes from a low income household, the Portuguese government would pay for her to go to Uni. To go to Portuguese University, it costs less than 1000 Euros per year. Many of us got a part-time job, went to University whilst working and that’s how we managed to cover our expenses without getting into student debt!
