Tuition Fees

Tuition fees rising is something that really rubs me up the wrong way! They are already expensive enough, about 3,000 a year, so even if the only loan we take out is for tuition fees the minimum debt we would be in is 9,000. Of course though we all know this isn’t the end of money needed to be paid out for university. If we are required to live in halls we can add another 3, ooo, shared houses can easily equal the same amount if not more. If you travel in, for your lectures, than you have to consider parking, and petrol money. You get the idea.

Vice chancellors at some top universities have called for university fees to double. A study comissioned by university UK suggests that if fees were raised to £7,000 a year, than a graduate in 2016 would have 32,400 worth of debt after three years of study. To me this is an astronomical amount of money.

There have been dire warnings that imposing fees on students would close university to poorer families. Those in favour of fees argue that it is irresistibly fairer that those who benefit from higher education should make a contribution.

To me increasing tuition fees is bad behaviour, it is unreasonable behaviour. In its favour all that can be said is that education should improve, I think the idea is more attractive to those who will be making money from it, rather than the people who really matter- the students. It will prevent some people from being able to go to university, which is wrong because they are trying to do something to better their life, and now the opportunity would be taken away. Even those from more fortunate families would be left with a huge amount of debt, not something anyone wants. I can understand that we can’t expect to go to university and pay nothing, but in my opinion what we are paying is enough!
