ubermaus Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It's a choice... Practically speaking it influences decision making because the repayments aren't cheap. People of my generation got well and trully done over by the government and Universities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 £35k student debt right here! as Anna says its still a debt that has to be paid back whichever way you look at it. You chose to do it knowing there'd be a debt afterwards...hope you picked the right course.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 £35k student debt right here! as Anna says its still a debt that has to be paid back whichever way you look at it. It's an investment, made by yourself, on very very generous terms, in your future employment prospects. It is also a lot of fun going to University.

tzijlstra Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 ??? I've been called some things in my time! Don't you think I lean a little too far to the left to be Smithy? Hah, I know you aren't, it is a joke because you spell of course the same way as he does, it is how I discover who it is almost instantly these days. Of cause I have now given the biggest clue away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the interest rate and repayments? From what I've seen (and from what my kids pay) it doesn't seem too bad.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 If you can't be bothered to make your argument then I shure as anything can't be bothered to read it mmkay. He has given you a rich source of clear evidence, BBC documentary 'The rich and us' available on BBC iplayer. I strongly sugest you watch it before making further comment.
