Opponents argue that it is of a small net benefit to the middle classes and those who do well at school first time round. They suggest that those who require to use college to gain entrance to university and those who cannot afford to be supported through four years of higher education (grants and loans being unable to cover living costs) are left out (along with young people who simply want to learn a trade) in favour of those that can afford it. I, however, was very careful to not bring personal politics into this ;-)
