the rich poor thing is stupid anyway
when it comes to this. A large proportion of people won't pay up front, but use loans, so it makes no difference what your circumstances are before you go to uni, you are still in the same boat.

My folks are reasonably high income middle-class, and as such I was screwed at uni because I get the max fees (at the time) and minimum loans etc. Poor people were a shitload better off than I was.
