Lol you seem to think it's so easy to walk out into the real world with a debt of £20-30k for students now, and £30-40k for students after 2012. WOO YEAH LET'S TAKE OUT LOADS OF LOANS...

How would you like to be stuck with debt hanging over your head for years? I don't think you can see the importance of it. Being in debt isn't exactly reassuring especially if you haven't even worked and brought a house etc. In your early 20s you shouldn't have to be in debt.
You always make yourself sound as if you live in some Mansion in Surrey, Robbie.
Precisely, a debt hanging over your neck of a large amount can really damage you later in life, for instance say you are earning the minimum payback threshold (atm it's £15,000, then it'll be £21k but the amount is irrelevant), you are earning exactly this. You want to buy a house, yet the bank won't give you a mortgage because they aren't sure you can afford it as you're paying your student loan.
I know im not going to uni for umm, 4 years, but i think all kids should hop onto a fun bus to scotland/wales so we can get a higher education without being left with big debts.
Some of us don't want to live in debt all of our lives. We are not COMPLAINING we're just putting our thoughts across over this matter, and we have a right to. I respect your opinions, however telling us that when we share ours we are "complaining" is out of line.
We're not millionaires, the majority of us are working class students who are struggling to afford a living let alone paying a ridiculous amount of money for education. We have a right to be angry that in the UK only those in England will have to be paying a huge sum of money.
I don't want to be worrying about paying about student loans as well as a mortgage if I buy a house and I'd like to buy a decent car as well, this won't be possible if I'm in debt until I die, lol.
20K debt as well your earning 21K. I worked out that you can pay your debt completely by 3 years, that completely nothing. Stop moaning, it not like we are unlucky. Maybe you all should live in a america.
Racists :'(
Seriously: Well if the Scots and the Welsh aren't going to pay then why should it fall on our shoulders to pay higher university fees? I thought EVERYONE had to make cuts, not just the minority who don't get a say because we trusted the British government? I shouldn't complain though, I won't have financial problems for university.
Good luck paying for food, furniture, water, gas, electricity, rent, insurance etc. on 1K per year.Quote:
No, it called saving and not spending it. Surely you could work that out?
