One of the consequences of the English government requiring universities to raise tuition fees, starting this academic year, to 9k UK Pounds per annum (or US$14k), funded by student loans (by a specific agency, not the banks) was a 6% drop in admissions. Few want to consider the impact of emigration after graduation, so avoiding repayment of the loan. What better why to encourage emigration of the "best & brightest"?
