Well our government has decided to raise fees to get into university meaning I can no longer afford to get in. Even with a loan.

The government has survived a revolt by Liberal Democrat and Conservative MPs over its plans to increase university tuition fees in England.

Oh yeah, My bio teacher was talking about this a few days ago. You guys are lucky you didn't have to pay for college originally. What they're asking you to pay is like 50% of what we currently have to pay.

Thats true. I don't blame you guys. We've had riots these past few months too in the UC system because tuition went up 33%. If I was a UC student. I would prolly join the riots.

Thousands of students skipped school to protest against the rises, a lot of us went including me. :lol:

It was perfectly harmless the protest yet police came with batons and shizz and beat the poop into us all. Police brutality much -.-

I know, right OC? It PO'ed me off so much since I'm a senior especially considering they're taking more and more out of state students.
