Law school BPP accused of exploiting demand to rake in more fees - Times Online
Some shady going ons at a British law school, taking advantage of the recession to grab every tuition dollar possible.
Good value for the money?
To make this bleakness a little darker, let’s consider all the things I could have bought INSTEAD of my legal education:
-
- Boob jobs for twelve people
- One Diet Dr. Pepper every day for the next 329 years
- A cozy four bedroom home in Gorst, Washington (with 20K to spare!)
- Two Hummer H2 SUVs
- 9,230 trips up the Space Needle
- Half of a fast food restaurant franchise
- 1/10th of a head of Brittany Spear’s hair
- The adoption of 3-12 children
- A necklace once owned by Elvis Presley (sold on juliensauctions.com)
- Clothing and accessories for Sara Palin during the campaign
- 30 average sized engagement rings (about $4000 each)
- I could charter a five room luxury yacht for a week
