And Manchester University attracted a wider spread of the total UK population. Mind you the Universities weren't trying to cram in 50% of the each years school/college leavers then. Jim Chris,

Unless of course this is one module on an MA course rather than the whole thing itself. Amusing thing is that most students in Leeds seem to be southerners who only talk to local Yorkshire people when buying alcohol or catching a bus. Never used to be like this when the student grants were around - the blend was much more electic in terms of both where people came from and their class background - from what I can remember anyway.

Do they train your to wear a cloth cap, say Ay-Oop and to keep pigeons? In fact is it a politically correct degree at all? Jim Hi Rob,

I couldn’t resist…

In fact is it a politically correct degree at all?
