00:00I think it's too expensive for students because the government should really be
00:05funding that, all the extra money, and they should have more of a budget.
00:11It's quite a tricky one isn't it, because I understand that the university's like
00:15they need the money to run the programs, however I'm aware that it used to be free
00:20a couple of years ago. There needs to be some sort of common ground doesn't there?
00:26Basically you have to pay enough to enter the courses and that, and it's just ridiculous
00:33for the cost of living and everything. And then the loan, if you can't afford it to
00:39pay it straight away, it's basically there for most of your life then, paying a bathroom.
00:44It's quite a difficult situation. I think it would be better across the board rather
00:47than lumping a young person in £50,000 of debt over four years, which got the chance
00:52of them paying it realistically with more wages, throughout England, Europe or anywhere
00:56else. Very low chance.
