Queen's University Belfast makes £50m from international students

When you design the University system to be a business, profits can only be a good thing, right?

Queens is actually a decent Uni, but completely overrated too. The amount of people who think they are something just cuz they drop their degree is from Queens is embarrassing.

UU was actually really good in several areas a decade ago, but their chasing of the Belfast Campus for £££, forever neglect of Derry and restructuring of several departments has made my opinion of them drop.

As a whole, N.I has a shit University sector, not for educational outcomes (we actually produce strong graduates), but in directing and creating local opportunies for graduates. Our business sector deserves blame too, but ultimately I now realize the problem is basically N.I existing within the UK (but that's another story you all have heard before at this point).

Educating people only have them to help other countries economies seems like a waste of time to me. Be better if it was tied to some sort of residency scheme.
