This post is off topic but I though it would interest some people. Thousands of students in London are protesting because Parliament is considering tripling tuition rates. Although this does not affect anyone in the United States, it does give us some perspective about how education is handled in other countries and how at GVSU when tuition rises, we can be thankful that it doesn't get tripled. As a student myself, if I found out that the U.S. would be tripling tuition rates, I wouldn't be happy either. Although I am not the protesting type, I am sure lots of students in the United States would protest like the London students are doing if the government tried something like this.

I heard about this and I am indeed glad that this is not happening in the USA.
