I personally think it is important to contribute to the cost of your education in some ways. I obviously would rather tuition fees stay low in cost but realistically our education is heavily subsidised. Most international students who come to study here pay the full £10,000+ tuition fees unless they get a scholarship off the government through EU initiatives to attract talent to the country and stuff. (remember that even if they leave here after studying they will still have studied in UK and attract more people here)

Funnily enough I had this same conversation with my counsellor the other week and I remember making the remark that if your getting something for free you can hardly complain when its poor quality, but if you're paying the same fees as you would pay at Oxford and Cambridge then the least you should be able to demand is only the greatest efforts from your tutors wherever you study.
