Seriously, though. I get a free ride to college! And honors, too! I'm...so...happy... *sniff* It would be about $16000 a year (US) otherwise.

Right idea, wrong branch. I dropped out of university, became homeless and gave being homeless up for something easier AND harder: the US Navy. Easier because being homeless is hard work when you're not mental unstable and harder because the military is no place for someone with no self discipline or self respect.

I will kindly, ask you not to disrespect the military of any nationality. They serve.

Sorry man - as I had said in the post, it was a bad joke. I really didn't mean any offence. :)

I think many people are overly harsh on the English University funding scheme. I know that the average student leaves with an enormous debt, but that's because they spend all their money on alcohol. It's not like the government force them too. I'm going to University this october, so don't start saying I'm being hypocritical.

In the UK you pay nothing if you earn under about £16k(I think) and you pay a higher percentage of the tuition fees, the more money you earn. Therefore the poor pay less tuition and the rich pay more.

The debt comes from living expenses. You need money for:
  • Rent
  • Food
  • Clothes
  • Transportation
  • Condoms (Hopefully)
  • Be3r
  • Household Chemicals
  • Insurance
  • Be3r
  • Drugs (Depending on the University)
  • Utilities Bills
  • Computer + Components
  • Etc, etc.
