To give you some idea, the new motorway relief on M4 around Newport will cost about 3 billion and rising. That is just a 15 mile diversion. So to rebuild the infrastructure needed to include the following;
Housing
Hospitals
Schooling
Roads
Drainage - which is a big issue at the moment, build on land and remove the tree that sucks up the water to stop the next flooded town. We are rapidly building without thinking and flooding the next town or the next weak spot on the rivers tide.
The amount that it would take to just bring the country back on even keel, would be mind blowing. (You do also realise that the profession you are choosing to go in contributes to a fair bit of that cost)
It's all fair, saying build it but you need the capital to be able to do that. You are correct in doing it will lead to increasing jobs, however you still need a start and that's what cost the most.
If it continues and it will with Turkey moving continents to Europe, instead of marrying old holidaying grannies the Turks can just move here. Creating even more push back on the infrastructure of the country.
To put things into easier terms for you. You've just signed up for a UNI place, where you had choice of where to go. If we keep taking more people into this country, then future generations won't have that choice. Universities are 90% inside city centre borders, where there is no room to move or expand apart from up, which is basically all London can do at the moment.
You also mentioned previously take away right to lease purchasers, without them then students would not have properties to rent, as most of these buildings were previously city centre homes that have been converted into bedsits and flats etc.
Like your spirit though
