    Scholarships apart (as there are also scholarships in the UK), I thought generally the US citizens start a University fund from birth to enable them to be able to afford the fees

    First link I found shows the fee's vary between $5,000 and $30,000

    It's interesting to see that also apparently that 30 out of the top 45 universities in the world is found in the US

    ONLY because the US pumps more money into them for research.

    Has nothing to do with better courses, students or lecturers.

    Funding they really can not afford considering their 13 trillion debt...HA

    to boycott uni in 2012.

    Now THAT is a funny idea. My son is going to uni in 2012. He could organize it on FB - "That awkward when Cameron realises that nobody is going to Uni in 2012"! :rotfl:

    Class doesn't come into it - there were simply less places available until New Labour decided to start their social engineering and set a 50% target.

    Absolutely – I agree with you.

    Possibly, but does that deter from the funds that families have to contribute to to allow their children to go to further education?
