University Fees
University fees have increased from £3,290 to a maximum of £9,000 a year from 2012-2013.
This is having a major impact on people’s decisions on whether they want to go to university
or not. I am here with Luke Smedley who says.
 How much was your course?
 Did increasing the fees affect what university you decided to go to?
 Do you think the fees should be as expensive as they are, if so why?
 Do you regret your decision in going?
 Do you think you made the right decision by getting yourself into debt by
going to university?
 Do you think you’ll be able to pay the money back?
 Would you advise others to go to university?
