I really hate this stereotypical view of students that a few people have expressed in here: we're at university because we want to learn, we want to graduate with degrees that give us a better chance to obtain good jobs and, in my own case, I've moved away from home and learned to be independent - I do not need a misleading political party affecting my life after I placed my trust in them to preserve it the way it currently is.

Zee for PM!

In fact, confirm something for me Zee.. Do Scots pay tuition fees? I know they were abolished years ago, but what exactly does a Uni student pay up here?
