What is with this student debt thing i owe well over £12,500 they are clueless?
there is an article in the news today by the halifax about how much students owe – its a joke everyone i went to uni with had a full student loan owing at keast £12,500 and at least a £15oo overdraft. i dont know where they get these figures from but from what i can see student debt is well worse than what they have said
Yeah it is a joke, the Gov. switched from grants to loans as a way to let more people have access to education (because you get more money) but really it’s just a way to switch all the cost to the student (because you gotta pay it back) so really people are worse off. And these tuition fees are a joke, I went to uni in sept 2005 so I’ll probably only have 10000 of debt but my friend started the year after when tuition fees came in and she goes to uni in London so she’ll have about 25,000 plus any overdraft she uses!!!! I think the tuition fees are wrong cos she’s not getting 3X the quality o f education even tho she pays 3X as much as I do! And it’s so wrong of the government to bring them in just to please the unis which just means young people are saddled with loads of debt as soon as they enter their 20s, never mind all the debt you’re gonna get into with mortgages etc!!!
