Getting my degree was one of the proudest things I did. They wanted me to stay on and do my Masters but I couldn't bare education any longer :P

Perhaps the actual courses are easier, but they are also more expensive. So less people actually applying it would seem. They may say other things but from what i've been told for my course is that they're struggling to get people on board hence why i've already got my offers for deferred entry.

It's going the way it has in America. Student gets huge loan and get a worthless piece of paper at the end. Whereas my interest rate is 1.5% yours will/is 6.6% and that'll screw you over.

Basically it's all a ploy to force you into employment/keep you in debt :P

Your interest rates might change in time, nothing is 100% fixed and certain - a future government might raise them in line with current students' rates.

Yeh you're right they can rise. But they only rise because of inflation and I think the max mine can go up to is 3.6% x

boo kings. Last year got offers from UCL, Manc, B'ham and Royal Holloway. Only wanted to go to UCL and that's where i'm at now.

@Zak it depends where you go and what you take. My degree is hard and not a worthless piece of paper, without this piece of paper I wouldn't touch the career I want haha.

Midwifery interviews at both the university of greenwich and the university of nottingham, awaiting to hear back from 2 other unis now!! So annoying for me though as I wont find out if I have offers until after my interviews which can take upto 4 weeks after :(
