Originally posted by Imajin You have to remember that Britain is a rather student friendly place. At least it was until the government did this to us. I doubt I ever get into university now. I could probably afford £3000 with my life savings and loans but paying £9000 just is not right. I basically lost out on my whole education thanks to this  .

Originally posted by Metal_Man88 I generally dislike violence in protests, but I can totally understand (and almost agree with) in this case. I mean, in the end it's not about the total amount. It's the fact that it's 3X the price. Think of ANYTHING you need to buy on a regular basis. Now tell yourself you'll have to pay 3 times the price. Not a fun thought. EDIT: also, their new cost > my yearly salary right now ____________________ "Water is the best way to buy time" ~Day9 |

| If this takes effect right away, I can see one of my really good friends being forced to pay a ridiculous amount for his final semester. That's totally not cool at all. =/
And I thought we were getting a raw deal here. Sheesh. ____________________ |

| The biggest slap in the face for me is that Scotland and Ireland will still be getting University cheap.
Where's the justice in that? ____________________ Follow my SM64 hack here Alternate Reality Mario 64 because Steve says so

| I don't think this is a good idea at all, I can barely afford to pay for University as it is since I come from a family with next to no income. Student loans do help but £9000 is far too much to pay just for tuition fees considering you'll only be getting around two hours of lectures a day. Add the accommodation fees to that and you'd be looking at something like £12000+ a year, which really is a lot of money to be dealing with at this stage of your life.
University should be for the people who want to learn, not just for the people who have the money. |

| Well looks like if you want to get an education, you'll have to go out of the country for college. =/
My Brit friend told me, however, that the price hike won't take effect until the next school year, so that's a small silver lining, I guess. ____________________ |

This happened in Puerto Rico but for much less money, I don't remember the amount but when the government proposed a tuition hike, students went on strike and they've been at it on and off since last Spring 
£9000 is about $15000~ USD which is pretty much what I'm paying for college here, and I can barely afford food and rent  |
