Its just great what you can find out on this site.
I would be interested to know how university works in other countries?.
Up untill about six years ago tuition fees were free here and all we had to pay was accommodation, food and personal spending. Now it is approx three and a half thousand pounds per year and the average course lasts three years plus accommodation ect.
My daughter went through uni eight years ago so had no tuition fee to pay for her but my son starts in september so have to pay.
However if you live in scotland you do not pay tuition fee I feel is unfare should be accross the whole country.
You can get a goverment loan just for tuition fee's and that does not have to be paid back untill you finish uni and are earning over £15000.
