$9,600 a year to attend Cambridge sounds like a bargain to me.

Considering how fast college is becoming a priviledge of the affluent, even community colleges, it's only going to get worse.

Higher level education was free here, up until and during my last year of high school. The year I started University, a "Higher Education Contribution Scheme" or HECS Debt was brought in. I dropped out after 18 mths but didn't pay off that 'Hex' until I was 34 and against my mortgage.

Kudos to any student protesting against increases to the cost of education.

That's a big problem nowadays, feeling entitled to everything.

Since when is education an entitlement?

Class struggle? Entitlement? Sounds like politics to me.
