I would love to see what the police would have done if football fans rampaged through london like that. But for some reason because its students they didnt beat 10 shades of shit out of them.

farmergiles · 12-12-2010, 02:33 PM

Footy fans are persecuted in London- but having said that ~I'd rather not see the coppers beat the shit out of anyone.

Lloydy · 12-12-2010, 02:44 PM

theyre only students

my_scatterheart · 12-12-2010, 02:50 PM

I don't think it's a lot either, judging by what we pay. But that doesn't make it insignificant.
Whatever you're used to paying is tripled. That's crazy. And it's good people said something.

I dont class myself as a student I hate the smelly fuckers

Theyre all idiots, how is smashing the capital up and pissing on war memorials going to get anyone to feel sympathetic towards them?

Don't blame all dentdom for Pink Floyd's offspring.

I like #19.

Waves · 12-12-2010, 03:28 PM

damn 9K? is that for a good school or sort of middle of the line? taking exchange rate into account thats about half of what we pay here for good schools, and the amounts get even higher when you get into the more elite schools.

fucking a college is expensive here in america

Rubix · 12-12-2010, 04:49 PM

a private two year school in my area for network admin is about 50K

Edit yes I am correct, giving current rates of exchange school would be about $13,000 a year. P damn high, mine is nowhere near that.

No you are incorrect

Kompressor · 12-12-2010, 05:23 PM

Man I wish I only paid $13,000 a year.

Good thing it's all paid back.

myxomatosis · 12-12-2010, 05:38 PM

Regardless of exchange rates or any other minor gripes, tuition increasing 3x what it was is more than reason to bitch.

Geeno · 12-12-2010, 06:07 PM

Lloydy · 12-13-2010, 01:37 AM

We dont have the shitty Euro in the UK btw

Bearsy · 12-13-2010, 04:40 AM

Education is a human right

Flamingnun · 12-13-2010, 04:48 AM

Right. Higher education, however, is a privilege.
