Texting helps to fill courses

Article Abstract:

Acceptances for university places by students is down by only 0.6 to 0.7 percent in 2006, vs 2005, according to senior sources at the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), showing that the new top-up fees regime is not deterring potential students. National figures, however, hide a mixed acceptance level for different universities, with some seeing acceptance down by up to 6.5 percent.
