So Independent schools don't do free lunches?
All of the Russel group will charge £9k (else they'll look cheap)... latest gossip is that we're somewhere in the 8-9k range..

One intresting stat (or non stat..) is that every year we plot our graduating students final percentage against their entry A level point scores (not offers - scores). No correlation at all - not even a vague trend..

I was very amused this week when the rumours that Cambridge will charge top whack were treated as some sort of newsworthy surprise.
There is no way Oxford and Cambridge can run a one-to-one tutorial system and not be hideously expensive on labour costs alone.
.. Oxbridge get EXTRA on top of the existing teaching grant per student. I believe its in the order of £1.5-2k per student. (existing teaching grant etc.. is c.£6k.. rising for science STEM subjects etc..)This is an Oxbridge only extra - no other university seems to be able to get away with it have it. Dont ever pity Oxbridge for 'doing more teaching' as they get paid extra for that....
Personally I think its ferking scandlous that they have been able to do this for years - but it just seems to slip under the radar all the time.
You're getting the wrong end of my stick!
The level playing field would be if ... conversely any other UK university were able to access the same grant that Oxbridge can - which they can't..
The Higher Education White Paper was due to be published by March 2011. But universities minister David Willetts said he was delaying it in part to see how "price-setting works this spring".
