digital printing is too expensive and so cannot afford to experiment

Vital statistics: A total of 22,284 students: over 17,000 full-time undergraduates and more than 5,000 part-timers. 10 per cent are international students from over 80 different countries outside Europe. (http://www.independent.co.uk/student/into-university/az-uni-colleges/birmingham-city-university-877469.html). Each student at £8,200 the university stands to make £139,400,000 a year just off full time student thats without part time so you're telling me it takes that much money theres non left over to help us actually pass our course and print for free!!!

it makes students reluctant to work to the best of there ability, or able to refine there work because of these ridiculous costings, during college I was able to print with exactly the same materials for completely free

For 9k a year I'm in 12 hours a week which is a bit rubbish for full time education and then after not getting lectured on not travelling around for my photography course (Because i don't have the money) i have to go and spend £60 on 10 A3 prints. I hate it when the odd lecturers say that it isn't that much and all this other stuff its alright for them they get £35/40,000 a year so come back and say when I've finished paying of my £46,000 debt!!!

Agreed! Not every student has an endless bucket of money to chuck into printing. We fund the university after all so it would be better spent in useful ways such as this!

As we pay so much for the course I think printing should be included in the cost, rather than us having to pay extra.

I bought my own card, my own lino, and it still cost me £10 for the small amount of paint that I used. The price racks up quickly and it makes me wonder what my tuition is actually going towards.

I agree, we spend 1000s of pounds on this course and don't see much for it

This is what our fees should be paying for, we shouldn't have to pay extra to use uni facilities.
