London, UK. 13th December 2016. A student holding a child introduces a speaker who will talk about what is happening in higher education at the start of the protest by students at UCL after UCL Management rejected their demand for a 10% rent cut. Students say the 'rent is still TOO DAMN HIGH', with some having to take on two or three part-time jobs while studying to pay rent and tuition fees, and they chanted this and other slogans as they walked around inside UCL and along the surrounding streets, ending with short speeches and setting off flares in the Main Quad. They see students increasingly being regarded as a source of revenue for universities rather than as integral to them as learning establishments. They called for further rent strikes next year in UCL and across the country and a total boycott of the government's student survey - if they praise UCL the fees will go up, and if they condemn it, the university will suffer.
