As is often pointed out i am an ex-student, but looking at the course i did 2 years ago, the fees have trippled 

http://www.brunel.ac.uk/courses/ug/cdata/m/MultimediaTechnologyandDesignBSc#facts

To do my course now will cost around £11,000. Thats just to attend the course, no house/flat rental, food, supplies, nothing else, JUST to attend the course. 

You even have to pay fees for thick sandwich years when you are away on placement, and never step foot on campus, which i was very angry about at the time.

But we all have to pay for our sandwiches regardless of whether they're thin or thick!

In Victorian times .........most poor people started work at about eight.......later in the Victorian period......about twelve years became the norm.
By the 1920's .....most kids started work at fourteen....I started full time work at sixteen......the average student seems to get his first job.......... at about age twenty -five.......
My question is this.......are students a bunch of lazy work shy buggers?....THE ANSWER  IS.........

16? what took you so long? I got my first job at 15, i worked in Tesco's, Currys, local marketing companies, local corner shops, so you can't really put that one on me.

I saved enough to pay for a good chunk of early uni stuff......

I'd like to see a return to less people at university and grants.

My daughter will definately go, and supporting her will be a nightmare.

There are enough grants to do it without, its all based on family income. If your below a certain threshold, you get loans for the fee's.

With London bonus, my standard loan was £5.5k per year, (although i only actually took it out for 2 years) As long as you don't spend your time down the pub its plenty, i used it to buy my Omega (best thing i ever bought) and do countless trips to the states.

First thing they need to do is get rid of the shite courses which are not worth the paper they are written one.

My pet hate was 'American Studies' that joke for a course lasted 3 years

My daughter has no real idea yet but an engineering, physics and maths are current contenders.

Media studies,always many times oversubscribed,people who want to write a thesis on Simon Cowell or Westlife and would call themselves intellectuals if they knew how to spell it.

Engineering in the Uk is dying....its to easy to do abroad for less money and even china and india are now getting good.
