UK just wanted to stop funding EU students, since EU disallowed paying for your own students and not others. The problem is that English universities are inherently more attractive so UK has way more EU students than EU had UK students making UK support a disproportionally large number of students.

One of the craziest things is that we still fund EU students 100% as long as they go home after graduation. I actually considered doing the same but I was to wedded to my UK friends and family.

The English evidently agree this is a problem and have been doing their part to make UK universities less “inherently” attractive.
