All British students should be entitled to home fee status.

What the petition asks
The Government should bring new legislation so that all British students are classed as home students and therefore entitled to home fees, regardless of their residency prior to joining University.
British students who live abroad for a variety of different reasons mostly due to the working circumstances of their parents will have to pay up to three times the amount paid by other British students. As such they are being disadvantaged and in many situations cannot afford to attend universities in the UK.
