Haven't broken any promises to other people
apart from that I'd promised myself I'd do something, and then chickened out.

Stupid bureaucracy? Bloody student loans company acting up

Student loans!
That makes me FURIOUS!

Bastard politicians all got a FREE university education and then saw fit to deny it to those coming after them.

BASTARDS

I only have about a year left until I am student loan free.
I would like to thank the student loan company for allowing me to fly around the world and buy a car.

I wish I was that close to paying mine off
lamentably, that is a long way away

I'm not even finished
but because I was ill in my first year, I've got to get it sorted out so they'll cover the final year of my course

But you shouldn't need to have a student loan! FFS!
You should have been crippled by a huge credit card like everyone else pre-student loan days.

I was lucky enough to avoid taking one out
But that was back when tuition fees were paid for by the local authority. I had to live at home rather than go away, but it did mean I wasn't bankrupt by the end of my degree.

I only took one out
because I'm lucky enough to have parents rich enough to subsidise my Uni education.

14K
count yourself lucky. Mine comes to more than that :(

fees were still small when I went to uni
and I got the minimum loan amount

I was fucking skint though. enough money for food and weed and that's about it.

I left polytechnic with a debt of £500.
Mind you in those days, £500 was a lot of money.

I'm still wrangling with them
over whether I should have to pay any money for my first, first year given I was only there five weeks
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 15:11, Reply)

Well I left with about 12k
not really changed that figure to be honest...

Did croissants come with your course too?

I'm very happy we don't do those in Spain
University is almost free for us.

I don't know what I would have done with a debt like those, with no job, being just a graduate. It's difficult enough to start with a 0 in your account.
