Both my Sons went to Uni as adult Students and managed not to take part in demonstrations costing all of us Millions of pounds in damage.

Both ended up with student loans.
One had to start repaying immediately after leaving, as his salary was over the threshold.
The other one didn't start paying till a few years later when his salary went over.

Both worked part time whilst at Uni to fund their weekly living expenses.
Both had a reasonble amount of "Student life".

Both earned more after Uni than they did before.

If I was a van driver and wanted to get an LGV licence to earn more money I would expect to pay the cost myself to benefit me in the long term.

Why should a Uni student expect me and all other tax payers to pay for them to ultimately have a better life than they would if they didn't go to Uni?
