If this is correct, I can well understand why a British student who is being asked to take on debt for thousands of pounds to pay his or her fees would not be happy sitting next to someone from another country who is getting their education for free.
You could say the same about any students in an EU University sitting next to a U.K. student...

It’s part of the Exchange Programme, no matter where it is - my son spent his 2nd Year at University of South Carolina, Columbia, and he paid U.K. fees (£3k at the time) - his fellow students paid around $30,000 per year for the same course.
