Missing out on 'the experience.'

Article Abstract:

A 1995 survey by the National Union of Students showed that four out of every 10 students held down a job in term-time, a figure which is likely to have risen with the introduction of tuition fees. Goldsmiths College, London, English student Ben, who once worked 20-25 hours/wk., comments that students need to work in order to study, but end up working to the exclusion of everything else. The majority of students work during the holidays but a medical student at Cambridge University believes that the university is opposed to vacation work as well as term-time work.

Doctors steal the limelight

Article Abstract:

There are now around 100 higher education institutions in the UK awarding an average of 10 honorary degrees each year. In most cases, the honorary degrees recognize distinction and achievement, although guidelines for awarding these degrees vary from institution to institution. Some observers have reservations about the way in which some honorary degrees are awarded, believing that some institutions use honorary degrees mainly to attract publicity and financial support.

Past it? You're pulling my leg!

Article Abstract:

More attention should be given to promoting sport for older people as a way of improving quality of life. There are over 30,000 sports graduates each year, but they focus on atheletes rather than on older people.
