  As part of the blessed generation who had free University education I have been horrified at the debt that my four children have built up under the present system at University (each of them owing more than I paid for my first house in 1975).
  
  Frankly there is no way that almost 50% of the population are capable of an academic further education and the idea of students paying a small fortune to study for a B.A. in Frog Juggling at the University of 'We Weren't even a Polytechnic' is an absolute con.
  
  I trust that your friends are planning to study a real subject at a real University, in which case 'if you think the price of education is high, look at the price of ignorance' otherwise might I suggest that they seek gainful employment rather than wasting three years of their lives getting into debt and getting the sort of education that most could get in a half decent public library.
