why do some unis start in october?

Shouldn't this mean that you need to pay a month less of tuition fees?

no. The tution fees are for the year 36 weeks I believe. Different universities have different contact hours.

You don't pay per month. Also I think pretty much all universities start in October/Late september.

My teaching also stops in late june, then i get 4 weeks off pretty much unofficial before 13 weeks off official.

The fees are for the course duration, however long they decide that should be.

And I'm still on my Easter holidays - I broke up about 2 weeks later than most uni's. Its the way the uni does it. Like I've finished all my teaching now, my whole uni has, when we go back we have a 5 week examination period when everyone has their exams (I have 3 exams in those 5 weeks) and then a week at the end before we officially break up for summer on the 11th June (but again this date varies from uni to uni). However I started about a week before most uni's in September...so it all evens out in the end.

My university finishes their lectures in the end of May! Also the exams tend to me earlier in June rather than Later.

I seem to be a part time student!
