I was arguing this earlier with a friend and I agree. I am very angry about the idea that fees are 9 grand a year. Then you need to factor in lodgings and food etc. You could do it, but it means bank loans for the rest of your life. It seems like in every way the system is rigged for the banks to do well and for poor people to remain permanently poor or never given a chance. I would have balked if this was potentially my first year of university too.

And yet youth unemployment is well above 20%. You aren't even going to get a job if you have a degree. The whole thing is a sham and needs pulling apart. One big hoodlum fix going on.
