Monday 2 to 4
Tuesday 9 to 11
Wed 9 to 11

And I am paying 3070 tuition fees for that. :dodgy: Works out I am paying the government roughly just over 122 a week. A week of 5 hour lessons.

I have picked the worst possible time to go to uni. A year earlier I wouldnt have had to pay an extra 3000+ a year just for being there. If I started next year I would get an extra 1500+ a year and have up to five years after finishing before even paying tuition fees back.

Random rant of the day, just pisses me right of! :angry:

I heard that the fees should be upwards of 10k a term?

These trainee doctors I was friends with once were from marautius and they were paying 22k a term.

Turns out uni isn't free, but its a hell of alot cheaper if your british and a hell of alot more expensive if you are from outside of Britain.
 
uni is free in greece.

and under this labout (ahem) government, i wouldnt want to be a trainee doctor.

But if you are outside of Britain and come here to study, you get more money.

well, uni has to be paid for somewhere or somehow whether its via loans or taxes.

Shouldn't the people who choose to go to uni have to pay for it?

I really think uni is a privilege which isn't really appreciated in today's UK, with the amount of people who want to go taxes would sky rocket surely?

politics again ;)

who payed for blair to go to university?

scottish students get uni on the tax payer.

i have a question for you - 53 year old builder has a heart attack, payed taxes all his life, do you think he gets the benefit whilst in surgery when a fully trained and qualified surgeon is performing the procedure? (bypass or whatever) i wonder when he wakes up in recovery if the first thing he thinks is, im glad to be alive but why should i help fund someone elses education - wheres the benefit to me.
 
That is the argument for it yes suits and its an extreme case, but my experience of uni is that people look at it as an extension of college in that its 30% work and 70% party time.

I haven't voiced my opinion on whether it should be free, I asked a question if people choose to go should they pay.

What the reason to take away grants and how has it affected taxes and how would it affect taxes if they were to come back?

I was under the impression that most uni's were almost on the brink of closure under the old system, but then that probably says more about the people who run the places than the system.
 

I havnt voiced my opinion either.

lets try this one... get a good pass at university then you dont pay, get an average result or worse you have to pay.

then we can analyse party time.

If you come from another country to my university, you get over a grand more bursary. Its similar to a lot of others. Its obviously a way to 'get more brains' in the country.

The way I see it, the extra money I earn as a result of a degree (hopefully), will end up in me paying more tax to the government anyway. So your average university student now will leave with about 20k debt, and then pay more tax than others.

You shouldn't be over 9k in debt because of tuition fees before you start university.
 
You go to university, you pay for it, simple as that as far as I'm concerned. I did my bachelors degree when grants were awarded and generally pissed it up the wall. I had to pay for my masters degree and worked a damn site harder. At the end of the day it's your education, why should anyone else pay for it? :)

As for the timetable, I personally don't see a problem with it. You're at least 18 when you go to university, stand on your own two feet and don't expect knowledge to be spoon fed you. If you don't have classes, hit the library, learn off your own back. Depends if you see uni as a place to learn or a place for 'life experience' ie getting pissed/laid.
