There are two proposals in the Immigration Bill in particular which affect international students – the first is the introduction of an NHS fee of up to £200 per year of study, paid before entry into the country.

The reason for the decision the Justice Department made to drop the lease has not been made clear, but USC will suffer an annual loss of $5.3 million in revenue as a result. “We’ll turn it into a win for USC,” Ed Walton, USC’s chief operating offi cer, told The State. The lease was supposed to accumulate $106 million for the university and bring over 250 “high paying” jobs to Columbia.

As a child I resented my yearly check-ups at the doctor’s office, as most do, because of the fear of shots, the medicine-y, sterile smell, and the mere inconvenience of it all. Today, I avoid going to the doctor because of the mere inconvenience of it. Life usually gets in the way of a lowly check-up appointment, which are inevitably put off until we get an actual sickness or problem. Of course, when our doctor tells us that our ill condition is preventable, we’re left conflicted: dang it! we say. Why didn’t I just go to my check-up?? Experiences with writing can be much the same way. When we’re faced with a problem, a “writing sickness” – writer’s block, lack of clarity, difficulties with structure – we often learn after we receive our cure that it could have been easily avoided if we had known the proper steps. With writing, the trouble is not so much figuring out that you’re sick; it’s knowing where Dr. Writing is to get medicine, check-ups, and eventually preventative steps in not getting sick again.
