Scotland pays for your tuitions if you're a scottish or EU/EEA student
Ameritards are like "buh mugh dollars 'n Kappalusm"
yeh, they don't like putting money for the common good, they just want to pay for themselves
I intend to pay mine off, but our system won't bankrupt me like theirs would before I get on my feet
"Functioning" for the past 40 years at most, running off of fumes from the previous generations contributions
How many of these are stretched to their limits at the moment?
Canada's is failing now
the threshold for paying it back was raised a while ago, you dont pay anything until you're earning more than ~24k now iirc
Still functioning to the present day.
Only this year mate @Vopi if you had a loan out for an earlier term that was 21k it applies still I think?
Canada used to have great doctors, prior to socialized medicine. Now that that generation has retired, their quality is dropping significantly and they're traveling to the US for care
oh right, not sure if old loans were grandfathered in or not, i go to uni in october, as a mature student
says here if you started your undergrad on or after sept 2012, so applies to some from previous years
What's your degree?
For me the US election caught me mid degree. It started to get people's ideologies more clear and out in the open
im not sure what to make of the uni i'll be going to, can't tell if it's infested or not
Ah, interesting so art school?
actually scratch that, it is. mandatory consent course, yey.
@Vopi You shouldn't really be worried about whether unis are infested with SJWs or not. Even if you disagree with them, you can still get your degree and live fine. Just don't be an absolute jackass. People will respect your ideas if you're respectful. If you waive a kekistani flag and call everyone a libtard cuck... then yeh people will treat you badly.
@Capitán Alatriste never have, and honestly I dont want want to be another TheQuartering
Don't want to be*
i appreciate the reassuring words, just not sure what to expect, i've heard some horror stories am probably just being overly cautious
People on the right tend to overexaggerate it, and it really mostly depends how you behave yourself.
There are a lot of left leaning people in uni, it's how it is, and how it's always been
Some are worse than others. Mine is pretty chill with politics, but the Student Union ban all centre and right speakers
It's not uncommon
There are plenty of right leaning people in unis aswell though
It's not like you'll be a "lone survivor"
luckily i'm doing accounting and finance, not much room for postmodern intersectionality.
Well I didn't go into arts, put I did do a politics related degree, and yes there are a LOT of lefties there. But you can still have a rational discourse if you treat people respectfully and speak in a civil manner
Some people may just act like cunts because you oppose them, just simply ignore them
they're cunts and there's no use to dealing with them
*puts on a carmen voice respect ma authooreety
sounds like a quality drinking game, take a drink everytime you hear "that wasn't real socialism tho"
o.o i can't do that
i will be under the table too soon
i'm predicting more than a few up north
True, although some uni's have something of a bubble, and don't always represent views in line with locals.
I could be totally wrong though, trying to keep an open mind.
