Yeah debt from university tutition fees is bad enough on its own. £27,000 from 3 years of study! 

WOW, that's so expensive! :O That's more than $40,000! Are you paying domestic student fees? 

If you are then tuition in the UK is so much more expensive than Canada. 

In the last 3 years, the arsehole government decided to increase tuition fees to £9000 per year (it was £3000 per year before that). We have 30 years after i graduate to pay it before it goes void but like 99% of people i think it should be free. Nevermind!

So i guess it costs more than Canada 

That's a huge increase. I think I remember the protests that occured when the govt. decided to increse fees. On the bright side, UK universities are all world class institutions, and for them to keep ranking so highly, they need more money so they can do more reasearch and stay competitive with the North American and other Asian universities that also rank highly. 

In Canada tuition varies for different programs, but the average tuition is $8000-$9000 a year (£5500)  at a big universitiy. Of course medicine and some other programs are much more high. So you guys had much cheaper tuition compared to here before they increased tuition fees. 

Wow, that's crazy! Your parents must have been so lucky to go to university for free! 

I'm the first in my family to go to university so unfortunately they never had the chance.

Anyway, i don't think they need that kind of money since they have always been world class and some of them give you tuition fee waivers if you excel in your degree. And whos to say they are spending the extra money on new facilities, they might be lining there own pockets first. Probably are.
