Full Fee- Your Joking (1 Viewer)

[David27]

How the hell is anyone supposed to afford $20,000 bucks a year to do a fee paying course unless your folks are rich, or you're a cashed up international student?

 

[jlh]

well if your that dedicated, i guess you ill somehow find a way to get hold of the cash. you pay per semester, so i figure, if you can get hold of half of it for first semester, then work during uni, you should be able to get the other half.... i don't exactly know!!

 

[Ziff]

The same way you afford to eat subway every day for lunch - mortgage your/parent's house...

 

[ameh]

yeah i agree its ridiculous, might as well be a escort eergghhh esp if the course isnt going to hav good job prospects then thats a real kick in the back

It's for the rich kiddies. As for the rest of us... there isn't much we can do. Life was never meant to be fair anyway.

Some people do manage to afford it and go for it though, so the system will remain!
I don't think it's all that bad though, if you want to get in to the course at a reasonable cost, then you just have to make sure you work hard, and you will find a way in. If people want to throw away good money for an easy ride, then whatever.

with 20 000, i rather sleep on that pile of money with many beautiful women beside me

$20000 is not that big of a pile...and i'm sure the women will want some of it

well now this is where the new uni reforms will kick in. those who are really serious about tertiary education will be able to take out a loan to pay off the education!! and good luck to them if they do decide to!!

 

[Xayma]

Yeah I want to pay off a sizable "additonal cost" when I could have just studied harder. 35% fee spots for me yay...

Uni may soon turn out to be education for the rich (or capable)...

..., that would be a fair amount =p

Bill gates dropped out of college, and there were tons of other stories that you can be rich without uni. I believe in that

for now, here i come unsw!!

well it looks like our tertiary education system is heading towards the US style. it will just be a matter of time now.

 

[santaslayer]

my eco teacher said its called the user pays system which is fair i guess

 

[flyin']

The government recognises that the system is in trouble, but doesn't want to pay, themselves. So they think, who can we get to pay... ah, the students!


/ 5,800: Only 200 ---> 6,000
