Could I say this?
I'm trying to transfer back to my home country but this argument is applicable to US citizen transfers - law school is too expensive, but I really want to become a lawyer. I believe money should not prevent me from becoming a lawyer so I want to transfer back (where tuition is much cheaper + employment prospects much better). Would this be a legitimate reason I could put in my personal statement?

Re: Could I say this?
Price and debtload can definitely be a proper reason. But probably won't apply to most transfer situations. Usually, the transfer student is giving up cheaper tuition at a lower ranked school in exchange for more expensive tuition at a higher ranked school. Schools that accept transfers (almost) never give financial aid/merit-based aid to transfer students.
So, it would be a rare case for someone to be paying less at their new school than at their old one. But I guess if you transfer into a state school with in-state tuition, it could be possible.
