Just got a letter from UCAS to my home with a SIM card advertising a phone brand. This was clearly a sponsor/advertisement using information they gathered from the application process.

Is it not weird that all people even thinking about going to uni have to use this one (private) company? I don't care that much (the deal is better than my current plan tbf) but at what point does this kind of thing become a problem?

(Yes I know you can technically apply to unis individually and pay a massive fee to them directly, but seriously who's doing this)
