As an international student, I feel that not enough representation has been given to international students - the majority of whom pay triple the amount of UK national students.; there is no difference in the quality of education between international and national students. A large majority of petitions and conversations regarding university students focus on UK national students and neglect international students - students that make up a large proportion of the UK university population.
