Sure they have been sampled some bad students.
But I have just noticed that all of my friends studying with me at London Met have a right to study.
We have legal documents, attendance, etc… There is no reason to sacrifice 75% of good students to kick out 25% of bad student from this country.
Just 1 year to finish my University life.
I do not know why now?
I do not know why me?
I do not know why everything I can imagine.
Many people may asked to UKBA or London Metropolitan University, “why don’t you kick the people who have the problem?”
Most of international students are spending on their holiday now and spent lots of money to call agency, UKBA, Universities, etc. These decisions does not make sense to good students. There is no human right? There is no hope? There is no opportunity to sit down in front of the desk and study?
It is time to help each other. It is time to know each other.
From personal view, I am agree that London Metropolitan University did not show proper result and done some issues illegally. However, it is not the student’s fault. UKBA should punish the workers who was looking after the documents and record. I do not know how many percent of student stayed illegally, however, it is obvious that more than 70% of students had a right documents and right attendance.
UKBA has sampled that how many of students stayed in this University even though they do not have a right to stay.
Now, its time to sample that how many of students have a right and want to stay and study. Please, give us a chance to claim, we are just normal human, students, son or daughter of Normal parents.
Now, I am not saying to cancel the revocation. Please sample us again how many of us are still willing to study with regal evidence. The UKBA can give us more option in better way…
