Christ, that's depressing.

The thing is that it's only going to get worse with the recent hike in tuition fees.  :|

I thought you guys didn't pay tuition? Only room and board and books and stuff?

Once upon a time. When I was at University (briefly) in the early 1990s, the students grants were just beginning their unholy transformation into student loans.

...could this not mean they photoshop porn?  Working in "The Sex Industry" doesn't always mean they are smoking the baloney pony you know...

Having said that, I didn't read the link, so I should probably STFU and go back to photoshopping porn.

It could mean that, if the title of the article wasn't "NUS: Students turning to prostitution to fund studies".

Yeah, that'll teach me to comment without reading. 

It probably won't, actually... but it should.

When I left sixth form, in 1998. they had just brought in tuition fees. so, no, we've paid tuition for about 13 years. Funny thing is, IF i had concentrated on studies and not boys and pot. my family was too poor to pay tuition. I woulda gone to Uni for free... oh for a Time Machine.. I woulda kicked my 16 year old self in the ass.
