Some of the top worries of students about leaving the EU are:
- Harder to travel around Europe - 64%
- Harder to gain work in Europe - 49%
- Effect on employment post-university - 46%
- Loss of education funding from EU grants - 45%
- Harder to study in Europe - 41%
- Rise in loans interest rates - 38%
- Harder for UK and European universities to collaborate - 28%
- European students facing higher fees in the UK - 17%
- Issues for EU nationals currently studying in UK - 15%
- Less protection for workers’ rights - 13%
After reading up on the subject myself I will be voting remain and this is due to many reasons the first being the fact I feel like the UK is more secure in the EU as it where we've been for so long and the EU protects on many things like workers rights and wages. According to EU Referedum
"Average real wages could be nearly 3% lower than if we remained in the EU, which would amount to a reduction of £800 a year for someone working full time on the average wage."
Which to me is a real scary thing which could happen to us, along with the fact we risk the possibility of losing up to 50 trading contracts which are already in place!
I would love to know what you are thinking of voting and what your reasons are, I just wanted to disclaim there is obviously reasons for both sides and my opinion does not mean it is right or wrong one. I hope you enjoyed my attempt at being serious for once.
