Why Scotland has no university fees but England does?
It is part of the UK after all yet only scottish students benefit from no university fees?

Scotland has parts of its own government who can spend the money given to them in any way they want, one of these ways is free university fees.

England and Scotland have different governments to make decisions.
Apparently in England, they used to pay you to go to Uni so some people saved up that money and went onto holiday. How times have changed...

because Nicola Sturgeon has enough spare time to educate every single one of their university students in her spare time, absolute idol really and she doesnt even charge money just a proper ledge really.
Education is a devolved policy area. So sub-national governments can make their own decision on how much to charge students. And SNP is quite socialist. Because they offer free education to Scottish students, they have to treat EU students the same way by EU law. But for some reason that doesn't apply to English students.
I suppose it's to incentivise Scottish students to remain in Scotland, as opposed to moving down to England.

There are a whole list of criteria you could fill. The easiest one I believe is for you to have an EU passport (with or without a UK one) and for a significant family member (parents or grandparents) to live in an EU/EEA Country or Switzerland, even if you live in England, Wales or NI.

It's a bit complicated but generally yes. Some people don't have an EU passport but still qualify because of their immigration status. Like being a refugee. But having EU citizenship is not enough. You need to have lived in the European Union for 3 years before the start date of your course. And that country must not be Wales, England or Northern Ireland.

No. Unless a significant family member still lived there. Unfortunately, I think the rule is you need to have lived there full time for at least three of the five years before your course starts (could be a bit different but I think that's the general idea). Therefore you wouldn't qualify, unless of course your parents/grandparents still lived in your home country.

You could well do. Have a look on the SAAS (I think that's the site I found the criteria on) website and it will tell you, or the universities themselves might have it on their website.
Have a read of this:
http://www.saas.gov.uk/_forms/residence.pdf
That should give you all the info. Hope it helps

Educating your young to the highest standard should be the Governments top priority. The English students are being absolutely ripped off and are being taken advantage of....
