    Help! Tuition fees for drop outs?
    Hello all,

    I have a question. I am an EU student and my situation is as follows:

    In 2004, I dropped out of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sussex. I failed the first academic year, was given a chance to repeat it, then failed again. I know, my heart clearly wasn't in it. There was no financial help for EU students back then, the EU paid most of the tuition.
    Now, I am offered a place at Hull.

    The question is will I receive financial help for my tuition fees, for all three academic years???

    Unlikely, as you've already studied for 2 years so you'd need to pay the first two years fees yourself. The reason is SF look at previous study regardless of how it was funded.
