The tuition fees fiasco is disgusting. When I go to Uni in 3 years time why should I have to pay up to £9,000 a year to study when those in Scotland get it for free? I wanna be a psychologist so lets say thats 5 years studying, that will cost me and my parents £45,000 to put me through Uni. My Dad said he might have to sell the house to do it for me. Thats a horrible thought.

And if I decide to take a loan, I'll be paying off that debt for the rest of my life. Having a burden like that lumped on me by this government is just totally unfair. The tories only care about the rich as far as I'm concerned and this tuition fees problem is one of the many things that proves it. The Lib Dems ain't much better either.

When I'm allowed to vote I'm voting for the Green Party because I've seen that you can't trust the 3 main ones.

I think you should try and apply for a Uni in Scotland. If you do that you would still get the tuition fee's I think even if you are from England. It is a lot of money. However you would get that 45 grand back in a fews years of working as a qualified psychologist.

Idk I don't really wanna move that far away from home. I live in London after all. And I know I'd make the money back up but the thing is my parents shouldn't have to go through such hassle to get me enough money to pay for Uni in the first place. Having to sell your house to pay your child through uni? Thats extreme, very extreme. And my parents are relatively well off, so I can't imagine how badly those worse off than me are having to save. Its just so unfair. Its why I think university should be made free like they have it in France.
