Seems to have kicked off big time outside Tory HQ!
Can't see what the fuss is about - none of them will get jobs because there aren't any so they won't have to pay the loan back.
9K is a lot. That works out at about £40 per hour on my course over a year for contact time.
Definitely not worth that, IMO. Currently works out around £15 per hour of contact time...which is what I charge for freelance work so can't really fuss too much at that .
I do think it is a lot of money at the moment, but I'm definitely glad I've spent it.
Though, i've not got long left so won't be paying any increased fees so not going to worry myself about it.
It is a of of money, and I'm glad I'm in my final year. I'm not sure I would attend Uni if the fees were 9k when I started. But you mention 'contact time', which is only one aspect of university. The substantial resources provided by means of libraries, online services etc makes the current fee quite reasonable.
