    No, but proofreading before posting would be a good idea...

    That sentence would probably get him on some UK university courses if he was paying 20K a year.

    There is some evidence to show that if you have a basic level of a language you can improve greatly if you study in a country. Unfortunately if you refuse to use the language and mix with speakers of that country then you won't improve.

    btw - the complaint wasn't about a post about the Met.

    Shame the institution concerned didn't "allegedly" make as much effort to confirm that their non-EU students were actually attending classes, as they are in checking message boards on the internet.

    Hey London Met, you are a ******* disgrace. You should be ashamed.

    Admin, please feel free to remove this post if the college complains...

    The numbers coming in via illigal immigration channels is nothing compared to the number allowed in through the open door policy era

    Placed 118 out of 120 in best university table. Filled with foreign students who cannot speak English and never attend lectures but work in curry houses making money. It was nothing but a scam, a fake university interested in getting as much foreign students tuition fees as possible and foreign students wanting to somehow get in and get absorbed in the illegal labour market.

    I know of universities ( bedfordshire if you want to know ) , who have gone to colleges in India and interviewed students and give out instant admissions based on answers to a few questions. The only objective is to get as many foreign students to take up admissions so that they can get their grubby hands on the foreign student tuition fee.

    Close them all.
