It makes application system less affordable for students. Due to Covid-19, Universities closed the campuses, students do not have access to many facilities which they paid in their tuition fees that affect studies, such as library, study rooms, computers, Internet etc. Students were not reimbursed for the unavailability of these services. In Addition, the government is going to increase NHS surcharge which It is extremely unfair and clear exploitation of foreign students who wish to study here.
