Firstly non EU student do not always pay double. Secondly even if they did it is subsidised by the government using the taxes they pay. Thirdly even for EU and UK students there is talk about increasing fees again for them.

As an international student, you are paying for the education not the right to remain in the UK but we seem to think they are both the same thing and being an international student should automatically give you the right to remain and work.

Yes the Uni's will feel it, but they will adjust. The decision is for the good of the overall UK economy as the cost of uncontrolled immigration on the NHS, primary and secondary school places and transportation is very high and increasing with more and more EU national moving to the UK.

The UNI'S can open campuses outside the UK if they are want more international students can't they? Nottingham has campuses in Malaysia and the Middle East don't they?

As I said for the good universities, they will fine. For those below par they will struggle and have to adjust accordingly.

If your aim as most of us claim when we apply for the student visa is to return home, then what is the problem?

If you know your aim is to try to stay behind then at this point Canada, Australia are better options. This will always change with time based on the immigration needs of each country at each point in time.

If they increase their fees won't there be an effect on the number of citizens that actually go to uni? Add the fact that they're turning maintenance grants into loans. With countries like offering free education, it's quite conceivable that more UK students would move towards cheaper or free options.

The unis benefit from the international students not only financially, but also the wealth of research that takes place. And I don't know if it qualifies as uncontrolled immigration with all the rules they already apply. There are studies that say that the skilled migrants actually contribute to the economy. In my opinion they're just looking for people to blame.

Don't see it purely as a matter of settlement, valuable work experience is an issue here. If international undergrad students spend 45000 GBP in a UK school the least they can get is valuable work experience that'll improve their employability when they return.

I see where you are coming from, but let's face the fact they wouldn't really be affected as they already he attract the best from EU countries.

Germans, French, etc all flock the UK to work in banking an other industries. Th people from the poorer countries like Romania and Poland also flock in to do the menial jobs and jobs like nursing etc so in reality they actually have too many people coming.

The pressure on the NHS, the school system and the housing system is enormous an becoming a problem because they cannot control the number of EU citizens coming in so logically controlling non EU makes sense.

The Non EU students pay more than double the amount the EU citizens pay. Add that to the fact that British students can pay after their studies. Let's face it, Non EU students are contributing to the subsidization of their uni education. If less international students come due to stricter immigration rules their unis will feel it..

A British Airways plane once had its engines catch fire midair though, and everybody survived.

Which one be protocol? Na T/IP?

Anyways, since I'm mainly a backend person I use good ol' Eclipse or IntelliJ, even for editing JavaScript...Used Dreamweaver back in 2010 when I learnt basic PHP and MySQL. Dreamweaver is hardly in vogue anymore I believe.

Congratulations Machine..

Starting your programming training with a PL like Haskell and perhaps other complicated Functional Programming Languages; might be either the best or worst thing, depending on the result of that..

Oh so now you're offended? What happened to all the "free speech" clamour?

Double standards...

This analysis is too pedantic and the term "unconditional love" should be considered subjectively since that's how it's used 99% of the time. There's a lot more to love than it's definition in the dictionary man. What you've done appears to me similar to working with emotions like they're mathematical theories you're trying to prove or disprove. You're shredding off the term a lot of its meaning.

I just ed out, and apart from the boots which I bequeathed to a farmer, everything is still in my box.

So being asked out is offensive? Okay.

@senbonzakura_kageoshi seriously, what movies have you been watching?...

k2039: Poverty stricken fools will claim it's all vanity.

Cr7, you have worked hard for your money, you can spend it on anything you want, afterall it's your money.

Technically he played for his money but whatever...

Well I'm no w@nk£r :x

Ask him why

If I wanted to see lovely furniture I would turn on the TV and watch MTV Cribs or something.

Is it going to give me super powers or make me immune to every disease? Else I don't see the point.

I'm a southpaw too

If I were in your shoes I wouldn't come, at least till I am quite old. I would only visit Nigeria occasionally. What's the point of leaving the good life I have made for myself and my family to come and start over in such an environment as Nigeria? Not worth it to me. But hey, that's just me..

Alhamdulillah, I've been fairly consistent with my solah. However, I do have a bad habit of postponing it till when its time is almost over. Sometimes I say Zuhr at 3pm and Asr at 5:30. I'm trying to change that sha, but I never miss any..

sun_temi: Hard home button can be easily fixed on iPhone 4 and 4s. Though it requires disassembling the iPhone completely and servicing the home button. Most times, you don't need to change the home button.

How much may this cost?

babaearly: @ibrosaunks
how life now? where is your ppa? inspite of all the color party nonsense i was still posted to a secondary school, but the place looks like one i'll enjoy, plenty wildlife and plantation

CHAIRMAN!! My PPA is in Osogbo. Hehehehe they didn't post you to Uyo? Na wa oh! I miss Akwa-Ibom a little sha...

Maybe you should get a gun for hunting the wildlife

My easy-going nature..

I know this is off topic, but I must say OP, that you write beautifully.

Hey guys, how's it going? I guess most of you are through with PPA struggles and are at home now chilling? If you aren't, God give you strength

I met darefestus, confirm cool guy (Y)

Cool! But apart from number 5, isn't this what all women and not just Muslim women want??

Hi! I have an iPhone 4 16Gb and I want to exchange for a 4s same size. How much extra would I have to pay?

don_femzy: Am actually a yellow sheep ☺ƒ my family....

does that mean that you are an albino sheep??

We had a black sheep in mine but we slaughtered it last sallah, so no black sheep again

darefestus: Please whoever will be going/has gone to the NYSC secretariat this week should highlight us on the happenings there. Whether we'll be getting our PPA or told to find one ourselves.

Went yesterday. I think we'll be getting from them, though from the inside info I got wind of there's a very good chance it will not be Osogbo or any pretty place, unless of course you know somebody that can help.
