They have rich parents
who pay for everything.
My family have never been money rich. We've never wanted but we've certainly never been able to buy the best of anything.
I'm working my arse off to do this because I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a small town and never seeing the world.

I guess there's always the illegal route.
Get here, change your name, get fake documents.

But who is going to pay for your uni course?
Why should I pay for you to go to a Uni over here?

Doesn't work like that
If you're studying and are from outside the EU, you have to pay the full fee, somewhere in the region of £60-70k. They will often get local help from their governments, but will still get charged the full fee. Inside the EU, that's the EU paying it. UK citizen - well, that's obvious.

VC is saying she doesn't have the money
so how is she expecting to pay for Uni? If you have a place on a uni course, then getting a visa is more straightforward, but to get the place you need to show you can pay. VC seems to be saying, let me come over, i'll promise to earn money and then go to uni, but my point is that, no matter how nice VC is, there are lots of people form the UK already who are capable of working as waitresses. So why should she be allowed to come and take the place of them?

Exactly right.
Because I'm from outside the UK I have to pay every cent myself - and I'm more then happy to work my arse off to do that.

EDIT: that's not what I said. I said my parents don't have the money. My dad is retired because he's medically and physically unable to work. My mother is a uni student herself.

I am, and I will work my arse off to put myself through university without handouts.
