They voted to remove the tuition cap and now tuition at English universities will be as much as 9,000 pounds a year. Now I DEFINITELY can't move to England for my PhD. That's so upsetting, I was really looking forward to getting out of the US for a few years.
Oh, and are you SERIOUSLY expecting to have ANY students now that you've done this? Your universities are going to hemorrhage students, so they'll fire professors and staff and then you'll have thousands more people competing for jobs that you don't have!
I mean, I know I'm no good at economics, but I DO know college students, and there are very few of us willing to pay nearly $10,000 a year for school, and probably even fewer who can afford it!!
Isn't there ANYWHERE else you could have attacked the budget? Raised taxes on rich people? Cut some tax cuts? Or if you HAD to raise the tuition cap, how about by 1,000 pounds at most? Because raising it by over 5,000 pounds is DISGUSTING!!
WE STUDENTS ARE POOR!!
P.S. California, this goes for you too. Quit raising tuition costs, I haven't got more money to give you, I'm thousands of dollars in debt already.
