Nearly 2,000 women students in the UK are said to be registered on SeekingArrangement.com, which promises to match "sugar babies" with "sugar daddies". Seeking Arrangement boasts 3.6 million active members, with 2.6 million "sugar babies" to 1 million "sugar daddies and mommas".
According to the website, over a third of their total users are students.
A statement from Brandon Wade, founder of the service, reads: "Every successful relationship is an arrangement between two parties.
"In business, partners sign business agreements that outline their objectives and expectations. Likewise, romantic relationships can only work if two people agree on what they expect and receive from each other."
The entrepreneur told student website The Tab: "Love is a concept made up by poor people.
"At a time when graduates are guaranteed debt rather than a well-paying job, or even employment for that matter, Sugar Daddies are sought out for opportunity and not just financial stability."
He went on to claim that "sugaring" would improve the prospects of men and women using the service, perhaps even enabling them to find employment upon graduation.
Recent statistics showed that the cost to the UK of paying for student debt will rise to billions of pounds per year over the next three decades.
University fees are likely to feature strongly during the general election campaign. In January, Labour leader Ed Miliband hinted that his party would bring forward a package to reduce fees.
New figures have also revealed that a third of graduates are failing to find graduate-level employment five years after leaving university. The number in lower-level jobs has increased by 4 per cent since 2010 and, at 34 per cent, is at its highest in more than a decade.
Reported amount of student 'sugar babies' sign ups in 2014:
1) University of Westminster: 180
2) University of Kent: 134
3) University of Cambridge: 127
4) University of Nottingham: 116
5) University of Exeter: 106
6) University of Leeds: 96
7) University of Manchester: 94
8) University of St. Andrews: 88
9) London School of Economics: 85
10) Queens University of Belfast: 84
11) Goldsmith University of London: 79
12) Glasgow Caledonian University: 76
13) University of Central Lancashire: 71
14) King's College London: 70
15) Middlesex University: 68
16) University of Bristol: 67
17) University of Arts London: 57
18) University of Portsmouth: 54
19) University of Essex: 52
20) University of South Wales: 51

All I can say is that any Student seeking a sugar Daddy or Mommy to fund their education and lifestyle in the UK should be praying luck. There are much easier ways to get sex in the UK than this approach. I'm not sure that 'Escort Agencies' would even charge as much. To each their own
Cynic*Igbo*Guy
God of mercy. What is this world turning into? Any building that does not have Jesus Christ as its foundation will surely collapse.
HMMMMMM....SOOON SUGAR GRANDPAs N GRNDMAs GO FOLLOW..YEYE DE WORI UNA.tomjerryswit
I pity where the world is headed. There are people with psychological problems that don't even know they have any. How can 1 say the emotion love was made up by poor people. Was anger made up by poor people 2? Was depression, sadness, hate, joy, excitement or spite made up by poor people ? The world has unending excuses 4 sin. Encouraging attitudes that should not be condoned like sugar daddies and sugar mummies of which I'm supposing most would be rich married people having problems in their marriages and instead of working on it they look 4 escape routes or even paedophiles of some sort. How does this even help those so called sugar babies or sugar boys who 'yes' might get education but at what cost? their integrity? selfworth? conscience?. Why not create a site that gives loans to fund education or why not set up a charity organisation that aids poor students in some way.. anyway there are people that have lost all manner of decency and human compassion that they lie 2 make money 4 themselves while leading souls into wicked acts. Love does exist and if u don't believe in it then I'm sorry to say you're truly sad because u've passed through this world never truly knowing a thing . That word 'sugaring' is undoubtfully disgusting. Lord have mercy ----C21
I DONT WISH ANYBODY DEATH. BUT IF THESE PEOPLE INCLUDING THE ABSENTEE OBJ. STAYS AWAY FROM NIGERIA POLITICS. NIGERIA WILL BE A BETTER PLACE...
lolzz all na biznessss
Institutionalised runs.

Dear Linda, I have called the phone number you provided on Jan 19 daily since then to no avail. I am at a crossroads. I hope you can put up my comment on your blog. And I will continue to call the phone number. My name is Asaba , I am 25 years old, a nurse in the US but originally from Cameroon in Central Africa. I moved to the U.S in December 2006 to study at Wichita State University in Kansas. I graduated from nursing school and worked as an ER nurse in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
In August 2013, I started Doctoral school at Wichita State University in Kansas. Unfortunately, in April 2014 the program switched to a mostly online program and could not "accomodate" me since I am an international student.
On the bright side, I was accepted that same period to attend Johns Hopkins School of Nursing in Baltimore for graduate school. Schooling at Johns Hopkins is a dream come true for me as a nurse. The opportunities, exposure and resources available are endless. On the other hand, it is an expensive privilege. Family funds were my sole means of funding.
At this point I need $23000 for this semester tuition to be paid by Friday February 6, 2015 at 4pm or I will be kicked out of all my classes. This will not only take away the opportunity of a great education but also put me out of legal immigrant status.
I am starting this funding source to help me stay in school and achieve my dreams. My goal is to complete school, move back to Cameroon and work in Community Based Research program focused on nursing research, inequity and health disparities among women.
Make my dreams come true.
Sincerely,
Asaba
I'm pretty sure this site is gonna be jammed when it comes to Nigeria.
