    There is nothing stopping you sponsoring a few students with a few grand a year if you feel that strongly about it.


    I wouldn't have to if the government did not bail out useless banks...

    Government 'chose to raise fees'.

    Hitting my pocket would be a royal pi$$ take wouldn't it.

    ;)

    Why would they not? That is the question.

    Many wouldn't get any takers :)

    I believe the government appear to be making a profit on some of the bail outs.

    Erm not really.

    If one uni charges less, one might see it as less quality over another uni that charges more.

    lol I find it hard how a uni can be seen as attractive charging fees around the 6 to 9 k mark.

    Overseas student fee levels you know.

    Baited.

    Working people pay high taxes no matter what the affair is.

    Iraq war is one example.

    You should see what the council spends your council tax money on...now that is a horror story. After working for one.

    Is that not just snobbery though? I mean what would one base that arguement on?

    I would have thought most students would research the universities and make an informed choice based on which would be best for them and nothing to do with the charges..
