£9,000 rapidly becoming the going rate (uni fees)

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The ever-growing list of universities that intend to charge £9000 is now as follows:

Aston, Birmingham, Cambridge, Durham, Essex, Exeter, Imperial, Lancaster, Manchester, Oxford, Surrey, UCL, Warwick.

Aston

Meanwhile Bishop Grosseteste University College (never heard of them? Exactly) has announced that it intends to charge £7,500.

Isn't that roughly around $14,000 -assuming this is for a full school year?

I'm not sure what the exchange rates are at the moment, but it's probably something like that, yeah. Currently the limit is slightly over £3,000 a year, but the upper limit has been raised to £9,000 a year as part of the government's plan to marketise higher education.

For an American even the upper limit is a bargain.  We would kill to have tuition like that here.

Yeah, it's about comparable for in-state tuition at a public university in the United States. Out-of-state tuition is like 3x that amount. So overall it's nice to have rich parents if you live in this country.

Californian community colleges remain affordable. Everything else in this country makes English colleges look super cheap.

They aren't that affordable elsewhere. There was a college affordability study that gave Fs to 49 states, and a passing grade of a C- to California only because of their community colleges.

I'd have to check what amount of tuition I pay (and if it strictly counts as 'tuition' and not as 'administration fees' or something) but it's probably in the €500 range.

Also, lol at Clegg and Co. stressing how the government would make sure there'd be good reasons if a University were to charge £9000. The LibDems being dishonest? Who could have known?

[Gustaf]

I pay negative 25 000 SEK (about negative $4000) for my university. That's socialist paradise for you.
