University 'to become more sober'

I've been feeling this (in the UK) for a few years already, that is, students have been cracking down more on their studies.

Obviously, this isn't a bad thing for their learning but half the fun of going to university is about the social experience.

Drinking too much and waking up next to a traffic cone, or worse... :biggrin:

I hope the introduction of tutition fees doesn't turn UK universities into solely degree factories!

Tuition fees are not being "introduced" at UK universities - they are just going up!

Best regards
