Students applying for places at Universities across the UK have been caught copying applications ideas for University places from the internet.

It appears that hundreds of people mentioned “burning a hole in their pyjamas at age 8″ due to a chemistry experiment. This is apparently available from a well known website used to help potential students in preparing their applications.

Of course this, in my mind, also highlights the pressure that students feel in getting a good University place. Students fearing that if they don’t get their first choice, their future life could be worse off probably feel that a plagiarised application will help. [SHOW ME]
