Although I'm sure there are lots of students that pay everything on time, there are probably a fair chunk that either don't pay on time, or don't return the kit when they leave at the end of the 9 months. Charging a fee at the beginning means that VM are likely to offset any risk further through the contract.
Not sure students will appreciate the character sleight.

As for returning the kit, is the onus upon the user to return the kit or for VM to collect it and does the upfront fee pay for the risks posed by those who don't comply with the rules? That would seem an unfair burden on those who do.

I didn't guarantee it, I said 'probably'. If you don't mind paying the 'same' fee over and over you are either a mug or have an undeclared vested interest.
