These students are now going over the limit, why can't they just study after all it's all free. I guess it's because what comes free is not appreciated. Just close up the universities and tell the rebels to go to hell

Dear students..I just have one request. Just study well and serve the society. Don't forget you are studying at the cost of the citizens. Thank you! PS. Don't forget that there are other students who has earned better marks than most of you. If cannot study, just get aside, let the needy take your places.
