Seems legit... 
Twice as many students benefit, with seven times the population... |
The only figures that matter to the UK are the amount of foreign students coming here and the amount of our students going abroad. A fairer system would be a one out, one in policy.
Gove has been critiscised for saying that this scheme (and EHIC) would continue after 1/1/21:

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.

So the students aren't actually getting completely free education, they continue to pay as if they were staying at their own educational establishment. That's fair enough then, but if we have more coming in than going out it's still costing us in resources.
If it's a simple (albeit unbalanced) swap of students, apart from the extra cost of resources in us subsidising the costs of educating overseas students, where do all the extra costs that the scheme is said cost come from? I
think that they are responsible for any extra costs of accomodation that are incurred themselves.
