if it's about Cardiff.. Sport, Entertainment, Transportation, Business, Development Projects, Leisure, Eating, Drinking, Nightlife, Shopping, Train Spotting! etc.. then we want it here!
I don't understand the ins and outs of University funding but I presume the student loans comapny now pays the fees to the University? Although the Welsh government pays some of the fees too. Since WAG have agreed to cover some costs might this explain why there's been a big increase in numbers? A rather barren economy outweighing concerns about increased debts?
Correct. Absolutely nothing to do with their accommodation costs.
Yes I know this money goes to the Universities! (albeit at the expense of Student debt) but it must find it way into the local economy, one way or another.
