Whilst I wouldnt want to stereotype students the vast majority, nay all but one of the ones I have known over the years have tended to live their university lives as beer drinking, women\men chasing, slovenly, lazy, arrogant oiks. They are nice people but used that time just let it all go.
If that makes my perspective jaded then so be it. But it is an opinion that is just a relevant and the next persons.
My stepson will be going to uni to study law in 2012 & he was there at the first student rally\riot.
Even though we have discussed the funding\fees issue I still dont see what the problem is. Forget the lib-dem pledge & what other parties has said what they will do, in a time of austerity how do we as a nation find the money to fund universities.
In the states parents save from the time they have a child for when he or she goes onto further education, the government only helps the poorest. So why should I and others pay for those that want to go to uni without them paying the full cost back.
The fees @ £3200 a year at the moment and the rest is subsidised by the gov.
So when the fees go up in 2012 we as tax payers will no longer be subsidising them as much, therefore more money will be availiable for issues more in need of funding.
