Home student fees/UK universities

How much does it cost to send your kid to boarding school for 3 years, plus flights, and how much are the fee savings? Is it really worth it?

Sometimes it's cheaper than some of the international schools in HK. Combine that with savings from uni tution..

Why should the British taxpayer subsidise your kids UK higher education fees?

Because our grandfathers and fathers fought and died for The Queen. If this is not a good enough answer, I lived in London for 7 years and paid tax so please go...troll somewhere else.

No idea the UK, but in Australia, locals pay on average AUD$8,000 per year in university fees, which can be deferred until later in life when they get a job. International students pay on average $30,000 per year for the same course.So something like 3 or 4 times more.

Yes I hadn't taken into account the cost of schools in HK. Changes the calculations a lot. Silly me.

Whilst as a British taxpayer for 40 years and still contributing I empahsise with @mgi's comment.

However, given that even subsidised UK uni fees are still a complete rip off you are welcome to to them.
