Here's your formula for calculating compensation

Last year ranking: 42
This year ranking: 58
Fall in ranking: 16
% in fall: 38%

Your formula for calculating the compensation for customer dissatisfaction will be as follows:

[Tuition fee + Accommodation fee + (last salary x 12) + estimated bonus + estimated extra living expenses] x 38%

Notes:

1. Left out the currency adjustment deliberately because HKD has been falling against the GBP.

2. You may take time value into account if your amount is big enough for you to bother.

3. "Estimated extra living expenses" means the excess amount incurred as a result of living in UK rather than your own country. This assumes that the UK has the highest relative price of goods in the entire world. However if you happen to come from a country with a higher price of goods than UK, you may ignore this factor.

4. The above formula is a guideline only. There is room for more creative adjustment, e.g. cost for extra warm clothes if you came from a tropical environment, cost for being sick extra long because the GPs on campus don't give the right medicine but just tells you to sleep, cost for extra frustration at fake train schedules on the uk national rail website etc...

P.S. I'm sure I could contribute to the "salary increase" meter the coming year. Cuz my original package was too low *wink*
