You pays your money, you makes your choice..

Article Abstract:

League tables are predicted to be the key guide for students looking to choose where to go to university as parents play a greater role in where their children go to college. As parents are becoming increasingly worried about debt and the ability of their children to pay it off, it is predicted that their influence in university choice will increase, and it is claimed that when parents look at the various universities, they do not think about it in terms of joining an academic collegiate structure, rather they approach it more in terms of purchasing a product from a supermarket and getting the best value for money.
