I was quoting the total cost of the debt including compound interest based upon predicted RPI (to which the interst rate is linked) that I read in an NUS survey. Admittedly it was not based upon the student working for Goldman Sachs and therefore paying off the 9% per year in one fell swoop.

P.S. I've heard that in GB the're going to stop teaching about Sheakspear because it's too hard and complicated for students


I havent heard about that and Shakspear is not difficult its far too interesting to be hard to learn.

Wish they taught it in the US. I can't imagine a person from the UK not being taught about the most famous Englishman to ever live.

I was Hamlet in the play at our school. Can you picture me in tights with a swashbuckler's sword? I do like to act to an extent. And it was rather fun seeing as I had to make an "old British" accent.

Miles out. Average student debt was £14K

Doesn't anybody know how to use Google anymore. I don't know.

You clearly have too much time on your hands... or you are a statistic freak.

If you are a good student, you won't have to pay anything (daily studies; not part-time).

So it is free if you are good enough (bit like getting a scholarship in UK or US?). What about if you are not one of the top students?

Basically good students study "daily and full-time". But in order to do that you have to have money for rent, food, books, etc. So daily studens of public universities don't pay tuition, but have to cover accomodation and living costs. Students of evening classes or part-time students have to pay quite a lot of money to get a degree.

According to my international politics book. Poland's edcuation system is ranked slightly lower then the United States education system. And sadly the United States educations system is ranked as average. So Poland's education system is slightly below average.

It makes sense to me, since people in the states have to pay for their education I would imagine they work hard in order to get a return on it and are more likely to take subjects that will earn them a living e.g., doctors, lawers etc and not psychology which I am told is popular in Poland. IMHO.

Annia,

If you don't pass the annual exams you still get kicked out. Young people here are motivated enough to take extra lessons and pay for weekend courses.
In Wroclaw the main subjects are: medicine, law, economy and IT.

I have to disagree that Maths is a benchmark degree. Its to specialised.


Just correcting your English....many of you make this error : it should read "it's TOO specialised" the double "OO" gives the emphasis of excess, the other spelling TO means going to the movies, to the races, writing to my friend etc. etc.

happy to provide this FREE english editing service for you all

WolfHound,

Nope the latest edition is for 2007. But I think its not the best since it also says Poland is a relatively poor country. Its a figure that shows the comparative achievement in mathematics, science, and reading. According to the 2004 statistics Poland has a achievement rank of 432. Average is 500. But that was 3 years ago. I'm sure the education system has gotten better in the last 3 years.

In Poland we always were thinkink that universities here are on so high level, and studying here is so complicated. Now many Polish ppl studying here, because some of them find it easier and they want to come back with english diploma believing it will be more appreciate than Polish one, so they prefer easier and better


The usual predictable rant....the higher education system in the UK is one of the best in the world, thats why its popular with students from around the world. I don't think many people would want to go to Poland for a Degree!

That actually has more to do with the prestige of western countries (= prestige of western universities) rather then with educational level displayed by them, or by their eastern equivalents.

I agree with Matyjasz.

There is also the language problem when choosing a university in a non-English speaking country.

I know. It's just that I have read your post regarding the misusing "than" and "then" just after I wrote that post. Quite a timing, innit?

Yeah, that would be another problem.
