Subject: RE: BS: Student Fees UK
It's bad enough at the moment - my son gets the maximum loan he can but it goes nowhere near covering his accomodation and living expenses. It's costing us about an extra £6000 a year to keep him at uni (plus help from his grandmother). It's a real struggle for us so what happens to families that just can't afford it?

My daughter is now 11 and by the time she's at uni I'll have retired (I'll be 69) so I dread to think how she's going to manage. Under this government society is becoming more and more devisive. This is one of things I'll be going to London to protest about on March 26.
