UK students look East for studies

LONDON - Faced with rising fees this year at British universities, more students in the UK may consider attending Chinese institutions.

"It (rising tuition fees) is pushing me away," said 26-year-old Kari Hakala, a Finnish student pursuing a bachelor's degree in business management at Worcester University.

As an international officer at the student union of his university, Hakala campaigned several times against rising tuition fees in the UK.
