“In response to the comment from, Melville Street, Lincoln: The fact that you refer to socialists (such as myself) as 'filth' merely portrays you as being a bitter, ill-informed, unintelligent, BNP fascist sympathiser. Something you may wish to think about.”

“All the comments made today have made me very angry. By the time i finish University I will be in £25,000 worth of debt, and why? because i am training to teach your children. I have a job to pay for my social life and even if i didnt I would have to pay the laon back when finished!
I don't understand why everyone has this view that they are paying for our fee's because your not!! the bank lend us the money and then we have to pay it back, including interest. There would not be doctors, scientists, teachers, vets etc without us going to university and then imagine what mess you would all be in, so stop moaning!
It makes me very angry to see these remarks when all the majority of us are trying to do is further our education and help YOU! so next time think before you go off on one and we have a right to protest. If the goverment remove the cap, then we will be borrowing more money (which according to you, your paying for) so then you will have even more reason to moan.”

“Sarah, why study for a degree if the salary at the end of it is only 15K? I earn more than that delivering Kleeneze catalogues in Berne. Also if you only earn 15k you will not be expected to pay one penny back anyway.”

“I am a graduate from Lincoln university, I too have a debt of 14,000 which is growing each year do to the fact that I can't afford to pay it back. I'd need to be earning £15,000 a year to pay it back and so far I haven't achieved that and even if I did reach that threshold I'd only be paying back £5-£10 a month minimum, this would still not pay off the debt due to the interest, this is gonna result in me having this debt until I die no doubt.
I resent anyone who says 'Oh, student, sponging off the taxpayer.' Well we don't, we pay our way. I got a job while at Uni because I was living on £30 a week, this wasn't enough to cover my bills, rent, food etc yet I had to survive on that, even after I got a job I was still only surviving on £60 a week and still having to find money to feed myself. Going out on a night was a luxury treat which would take a few weeks to save up for. If I went out when I had no money I wouldn't drink.
To all you people who are behaving like Anne Robinson (ie, you hate students) ask yourself this, Is it right for the Government to plumit 18year old and upwards into enormous debt even before they've got the skills and qualifications they need to get the job they NEED to pay off the massive debt they've incured trying to make a career for themselves?
The answer to that is NO! It is unfair to plunge young adults into so much debt. £27,000 to pay back once you've left Uni is a disgusting amount and now that the government are going to uncap fee's this means students or to you and me, the future teachers, doctors, politions etc. of this country are going to have a bill of £30,000 plus to pay back. I think it is disgusting the government can get away with doing this to the future hard working men and women of our county.

Someone mentioned their work load while at Uni, my work load was 72 hours a week, where was I meant to squeeze in a job with a work load of that magnitude? Thankfully I did it, but I still didn't have enough money to survive on.”

“I am disgusted at some of the comments left on this page ¿ particularly the fact that people seem to think we want our education for free, and the stereotype students are being given. I, for one, DO NOT go out spending my money on booze and coming home at stupid O¿clock, and I know plenty of other 'layabout' students who do not either. We cannot afford to do that! And I think it is very unfair to use the few 'bad eggs' that maybe do give students a bad name....what about all the ones who are doing their best? Trying to pass their degree to become teachers? Lawyers? Vets? Doctors? Need I continue? People should be able to go to University wherever they wish and study whatever they wish, it is their right! They should not have to worry about costs anymore than now, and certainly we should not and do not want a class divide in the University's! Can you honestly say that's the way you want your children to live?
As for the wanting our education for free - maybe if you bothered looking into the issue and getting some FACTS you could make some more informed comments rather that picking at an issue you have no idea about.
I could go on about this but I am stopping now. I really would have thought people would be more supportive of this issue, as I guarantee it will affect someone you know & love!”
