Is the extra fees for students on attachment justified

THE National University of Science and Technology (Nust) has set stringent conditions for students who have not paid registration fees and warned they would be forced to repeat. - See more at: http://bulawayo24.com/index-id-news-sc-education-byo-11953.html#sthash.zUu8QiLg.dpuf
It has been an issue amongst most students at NUST, they site the fact that they cannot pay more fees when they are not at school.

Most students are attached in places away from their homes and they need money for their wellbeing  in foreign lands.

Carlos Khumalo said we have high rentals and the institution expects us to pay exorbitant fees

He added that: " we pay for internet, sports levy and bus levy whilst we do not use all that and an extra fare for industrial attachment. At times you wounder what all that fees is for they should take into cognisance that most students are struggling to make ends meet as everything is expensive and most attachment places do not pay much".

Another student said the institution is trying by all means to raise funds for its upkeep since it is common knowledge that NUST is bankrupt.

"It is absurd that an institution as big as this one does not care for their students on attachment, why not let those on attachment pay reasonable fees not high fees as they will be away from school, ." said Ngonizashe Muringani.

Where is this money going as students on attachment do not receive any lectures from NUST?
 
Why do students pay for things they will not benefit from?

What kind of institution is NUST that does not consider the hardships students face on attachment?

Is the extra fees and other levies that students on attachment are paying justified?
