Just received the most depressing news - fees for the MA in Library and Information Studies have gone up to £5,750!!!!!!! Eeeek. It really is ridiculous how much Universities can charge for education - I mean, our course will be approx 30 weeks long, and we're only in a couple of days a week. Where will all our money be going!?!?!? At this rate, I (at the very least) expect tea and cake to accompany seminars for the amount we are paying (joking aside, we actually did this during my MA at the University of Reading - it somehow made learning a LOT more fun...!)
Any bright ideas on how to raise funds? So far myself and my fellow trainees have come up with the idea of creating and selling cloth pouches to protect your books during the daily commute, ...and bargaining off our LL bookmarks for £1 to go towards our "poor library student fund." Oh, and as a last resort, we could always hedge our bets and play the National Lottery instead.
Hmmm.
Failing that, any generous donations welcome! :-)
