Lower the University International Students Fee
Same as the UK/EU residents have to pay more September 2017 and further (raise from £9000 to £9250), it's even worser for international students - where the raise overall is £620 more, going from £12700 to £13330 (example of a course).
It's about time we all get together and say enough is enough! Everyone talks about equality and the importance of it, so the question is where truly is it? Why is the fee differences so big? There isn't much more services or help available for us, so what's the point? Everyone talks about the raise of next year, but no one includes us international students in their protests.
It's about time, please sign this campaign and share it with everyone!

Why is this important?
It's important for the future to make Education available and to keep it equal for everyone.
Studying first year at an University in England has showed me that there literally is no point of having different tuition fee categories based on nationality. There aren't any extra help for us. We pay extra for nothing more than what every other students gets. It feels like theft! If you for example came from Scandinavia, you would still be recognised as international student in the UK, even if your home is only two hours away - it doesn't make any sense.
