UDANG DI SEBALIK BATU@ PRAWN BEHIND THE ROCK

UK universities are really masters of advertising and marketing. First, they make you drool over their universities through fabulous postcard quality photos and magnificent story-telling skills.

Example: University of Edinburgh. They've shown me this in their offer booklet.






"With its stunning Georgian and Victorian architecture, and winding medieval streets, it’s easy to see why Edinburgh has been listed as a World Heritage Site.
And the setting is captivating. Edinburgh Castle dominates the urban skyline, perched atop the crags of an ancient volcano right in the centre of the city. " ~

And this:


This is the place where you'll live if you study there...


Then they break the most crucial news to you, the thing that they really, I mean REALLY want from overseas students:

1st and 2nd year: 16100 pounds/ year
3rd, 4th and 5th year: 27300 pounds/ year
***You must deposit one third of the first year's fees if you want to accept the offer... yay T_T

Such a grand fee for a grand university in a grand city!

Wow, I'm so going there... If I want to go bankrupt...

I'll start growing trees with the ability to fruit money starting from today!

Lucas!
You are not the only one!
I am also not going to Queens of Belfast already
I cannot afford! Eventhough everything is much cheaper than Edinburgh!

But it'll be a waste if you don't go bcoz you can afford it.

I thought your friend HK made it very clear to you that you can bear with the financial burden.

Anyway, best of luck!
