Hello!
Some of you have been mentioning the 'Brighter and More Able Student', and well, speak of the Devil, and here I am!
Shurely this bright and able chap/chapess will be bright enough to spot that his ability will brightly shine through whichever route he/she chooses? And the VERY brightest and MOST able will realise that, as they will perform well anyway, will take the less expensive option. Leaving more money spare for computer games, trainers, and FI ratings. And pink gin.
Ho, hum! You pays your money (£30-£60k, it's up to you), and takes yer' choice!
Ciao!
