He wants to drop ‘out and apply to do American studies at a different university, but I say he shouldn't.

Twenty-five years ago, being a student in Britain was really easy. We did't have to pay anything to atudy al university. It was eomplotely free. In fact, when I went to university. the government actually GAVE me money. And I mean, gave.

I say concentrate on studying, but actualy a Jot of the time we just sat around and chatted to each other, watched French films, read books, went on demonstrations or went to parties. I only had to 20 to ten hours of lectures each week, so I had Tots of time to write my essays and do everything clse I wanted to do. And of course, almost all students lived away from home. We had a lot of Freedom — we didn’t have to worry about coming home late or bringing friends home, because our parents weren’t there, It was Tun and easy. T just chose the course I wanted to do, which was politics and history. I don’t think you can do that now, I know Danny really wants to do American studies, and I'm sure itd be interesting, but who would give him a job when he finishes hhis degree? I went travelling for six ‘months after I graduated because it was easy £0 find work. T got a job in banking very quickly, ‘but he'll have to pay back the money he's borrowed.
