I paid £9500 for the final year of my PhD in the UK - as an overseas student.

Seeing how the vast majority of the students rioting are really only at University to be on a 3-year p*ss up, my sympathy is in short supply. There are far too many students at sub-standard universities taking ridiculous courses. While I agree that this is a big increase, there will be support for the more serious undergrads who wish to pursue a legitimate education as opposed to extending 'college' for 3 more years.
