There gona have some cash left after all that though

Shame your grants are going to go towards that though

Scotland has free uni and the welsh are trying for the same.
Wales has free prescriptions for all and scotland are trying for that now.
Why do us english have to pay for everybody and never get any benefits ourself? There must be a reason for all this :s How come scottish mp's voting on scottish issues vote one way but when its for the english they vote the total opposite? its a total disgrace.

The sooner you can escape go

Tips:
Get as much student loan as poss and then when your highly qualified go and work abroad in the sun and never ever repay your student loan

When you get a prescription tick the box on it to say your unemployed and get it for free if they ever come back to you say you gave a friend the cash to collect it for you and then pay it back.

If you are at University in England and have to have to get a prescription or recieve Dental care, it is still possible to get it free (income assessed) you just need to fill out this form:
http://www.ppa.org.uk/ppa/HC1_form.htm
And you will be sent a claim form. I think its income assessed and you need to provide a copy of your student loan and bursary letters.
Its a bit of a drag to fill in but if it means you dont have to pay suppose its worth it. I have to get Hayfever tablets and eyedrops and it works out at £14.20 a time which soon adds up over the summer. You must be 19 or over and at University to claim though.
Ok its not relevant to the University fees but some people have mentioned prescriptions and it is relevant to that :] Plus it may help alot of people.

Regarding the fees, i think it has something to do with the fact that half of parliment is made up of scottish people and Gordon Brown is also scottish sooo who they gonna vote in favour of....even though they'll say they probably dont. Scottish MPs can vote on issues that affect only England but English MPs are unable to vote on the same issues in Scotland.

Its costs UK Taxpayers £2billion a year so that scottish students can enjoy free tuition "/ really annoying.

[leah]

Thats well unfair..
Tbh it should all be free

Uni fees suck. I didnt go uni when I came out of school but even if I was thinking about it I would have been well put off by the costs and may have ended up not going.

So they vote what's best for them, and to hell with England. All wrong!

Money shouldn't be the reason you decide not to go to University. England needs to encourage students, after all, they are the future.

Yes exactly, Dont be put off by the Uni fees it is alot of money but there is many different ways it can be financed and eventually you will be part of an intelligent and skilled generation instead of england slipping into the unskilled and unintelligent country which it is becoming..

I completely disagree with that statement.

More students are going to university now than ever, what alot of people don't realise is that the more students who end up choosing the university route; it means that there is too many grad students and not enough jobs - As I am involved in the family business (one of my duties is examining through peoples CV's) and I can see that year after year, we are getting more people who have a university degree and want to work in a job that doesn't involve a degree.

I know people who have gone to university who worked at mcdonalds before they started their course and two years after they have graduated; they are still working at mcdonalds. Difference is the individual is now 12 grand in debt.
