ELI5: Where is all the money I pay for University tuition going?

I was struggling with a topic from one of my lectures today because the lecturer's way of explaining it was so terrible  I went on YouTube and a 6 minute explained to me what this guy had taken 3 hours trying to. It made me think, where does the money pay go to?

If it helps I'm at a Scottish University, having to pay £27,000 over the 4 year course.

Well, that lecturer, no matter how terrible you found him to be, still gets a salary, as do all of the other staff at the university, like the people in administration who do all the paperwork, janitors who keep the buildings clean, maintenance workers who fix things that stop working,  the landscapers who mow the lawn and trim the bushes, etc. There are also equipment costs, like replacing computers and fax machines and printers and toilets when they have reached the end of their usefulness. Let's not forget all the bills that have to be paid, like for electricity, water, and sewer. All in all, it costs a ton of money to keep a large university running, and your tuition goes toward all of it.
