Guys, I think we must all take active part in the consultation and ask all our friends and relatives also take part in the consultation.
I suggest that the main demands should be:
1) Long and fair transitional period for all student who are now eligible for PSW after their current course.
2) Do not implement the rule when you have to leave the country to apply for new degree. This is very inconvenient and will also hit universities very hard because almost half of their new foreign students are already residents here.
I think we should focus on these two demands or "suggestions".
You can take part in the consultation at least in three ways and I think the best is to use all of them for maximum impact:
1. On-line form:

2. E-mail:
studentconsultation@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
3. Paper form (print and send), download it here (PDF):

And don't forget, ask all your friends and relatives also to take part. Also ask your universities to take part (academic staff sometimes needs little stimulation).
