As someone whose salary is based on how much tuition others are paying, and who is losing about £1200 per year paying it back, I can categorically say it’s bad from both ends.
The tuition freeze has essentially meant universities in the UK have had a budget cut every year based on inflation, which is now driving a push towards international recruitment since they pay the bills.
