How to push your students away?

Since tuition fees are getting higher and top degrees aren’t even guaranteeing a place at a UK university anymore, more and more students are seeking for universities abroad, and discovering they are often much cheaper. Studying at a UK university has never been this expensive, with an unwilling consequence that more students will go study abroad, leaving the very selective UK universities behind. Some overseas universities are even paying transport costs, and students often find themselves with less additional costs for example lower costs for food and living. Their first choice however will remain a UK university, due to their friends and family they want to stay close to, but social networks like Skype and Facebook are starting to resolve even this barrier.
