I reckon the fact that students tend to get very defensive is the fact that theyve got the largest financial risk on thier shoulders. Forget about employment prospects & ba ssp's etc at the end of the day students are risking £75k with no guarantee- now that's one hell of a risk! Then people come on here saying the place is ****; what do you expect them to say! They most probably feel insecure.
Its like forking out loads of dosh for something like a car; and random people going thats ****, youre ****! You'd get very insecure & start defending your choice!
If you banned the oat ISP- you'd probably end up shutting off all the studes in halls!
