That seems extremely counter-intuitive to me.
Who did the research that tuition fees equals more people signing up? I've already no idea how I am going to afford wee man's fees in xx years times.

Sure. BTW, after the removal of tuition fees in Scotland, the number of people from disadvantaged backgrounds applying to university dropped dramatically. In England it has actually encouraged a wider range of people to sign up. Tuition fees have increased social mobility.
