And anyway, so what? Everyone knows they used to cost less. Guess what, before that it was free. Why wasn't that your thread header?

When I went to uni the first time, I paid no fees and got a non-repayable grant. The good old days. When about 2% of the population went to uni and the system was financially sustainable.
