    Some of you will probably have heard of the New College of the Humanities
    http://www.nchum.org/

    Basically it's a new uni starring people like Richard Dawkins, charging £18,000 for what is apparently going to be an Oxbridge competitor, accepting only the best of the best. Thoughts? Personally I don't like it, it seems like a degree you can buy your way into, where no one with serious talent is going to accept a place over Oxbridge or another top university.

    There was a humongous discussion thread already about this a fair few months ago. No point repeating past discussion

    I was just wondering if anyone has made a commitment to going there? I'm interested in how it will work out in its first year. There's been a bit of a media silence recently.
