    Hi

    Does any1 no what the story is with this new 'student contribution charge' instead of a 1500 reg fee its a flat 2000 student contribution charge instead.

    If you qualify for free fees does this still cover the 2000 or does the student have to make up the 500 or pay the entire 2000..hope not...what with 4000cut on my grant & expecting me 2 work as a student nurse for 9 months next year for nothing, I don't think I could take anymore..

    The grant should cover the 2000

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Each college has different rules I think
