@paul_hemmer @Roborovski1 why would they feel left out? Plenty of working class kids when I was there never felt it was an issue.

@JuliaHB1@Roborovski1 when all the posh kids don't need to work part time to fund their studies. -
@paul_hemmer@Roborovski1 I waitressed every holiday throughout my university years and I coped just fine. I was on a full grant, BTW. -
@JuliaHB1@Roborovski1 it's different now I guess. With high loans needing to be taken out -
@paul_hemmer@Roborovski1 yes, I think tuition fees are an abomination and the abolition of grants is terrible. -
@JuliaHB1@Roborovski1 with no offence it was easier in your day. Easier in mine too but I just missed out on the grants

@JuliaHB1@paul_hemmer Things have changed since you were there obviously: only one in ten from working-class backgrounds now... -
@Roborovski1@paul_hemmer no, I meant that the working class kids there didn't feel they didn't belong there. -
@JuliaHB1@Roborovski1 fair enough I've being there.
