Such a shame that I cannot go back to uni unless I win the lottery. Sums up everything that is wrong with this country.
Why is it wrong that the government won't lend you endless sums of money to take as many degrees as you want? They're pretty clear, you can borrow for your first degree, they won't fund any more. If you're bored why don't you get a job and study the subject you want in your own time just for interest.

I have had my free degree.
I don't want another free degree.
I just prefered the previous payscale (i.e. £3k per year). The recent price hike is ludicrous, and prices people like me out of the system, who are even willing to spend their life savings to get back in uni.

not really isolated to this country... everything costs someone money... you already got your degree, a degree that was much more government subsidised than current uni students. in an ideal world all education would be free but this isn't an ideal world... let alone country. you can't keep doing degree after degree at the government's, and therefore tax payer's, expense... just because you are "bored".

i dont think you understand...they wont fund you for a 2nd UG degree...so they'll have to pull out the money from themselfs...now instead of around 3.4k a year they be paying 9k a year...of their own money obviously after working as to get money to fund yourself for 3 years would require you to have worked if not from a well off background.
i bet u still dont realise what they are complaining about

I have a thirst for knowledge, especially in the travel, history, lesiure, languages fields. Even if it doesn't lead to good careers I still love to enhance knowledge in those fields. I think it's great that people want to further their education, and I know I'm not the only one.
To pay my way for further degrees is my hobby/career in a way (as long as it leads to personal enhancement), but with modern prices I am simply priced out of the market.

Why should we be paying to stop you from being bored? People shouldnt be paying for your entertainment, you should pay for it yourself or find cheaper ways to keep yourself busy. Its such a shame I cant go on holiday this summer unless I get a job to pay for it but that isnt a problem with the country.

What do people not understand by only being funded for ONE degree...they WILL pay for it themselves if they want a second unless its a medicine or dentistry to which there are other factors.

The issue is that your life savings aren't enough to pay for what it costs to run a university divided by the number of people attending.

the government pays out for degrees because they usually benefit them in the long run. how would you doing countless degrees as a hobby benefit them? why should the government fund a hobby? why should i or my nextdoor neighbour or steve from liverpool pay for your hobby?
If your serious about it try another country, we had a woman give a presentation about it at out school, I think in some scandinavian countries its 1.5k a year, and Denmark I think it was, it's free.
What about postgraduate study? Depending on what field your undergraduate degree is in and what your particular interests are you could perhaps apply for Research Council funding for masters or PhD study?

Sorry I don't understand the post. Are you agreeing or disagreeing with me?
