Yep. Also I was the £1k fees generation and I remember having a fight with someone about whether my LEA was paying my fees (they were) because they couldn't conceive that my mum might earn less than £21k and thought it must be a scam.

I knew people whose parents 'invested' their student loans, and others whose parents bought them houses to rent out rooms to chums. Meanwhile I was applying for a hardship grant.

I remember people talking about that as an amazing investment opportunity. I had a teacher at school who talked about what a great deal student loans were for canny investments and how we shouldn't protest fees.

Literally saw the same. I was an undergrad with somebody who took out a student loan, in order that her and her dad could buy a fancy car with it for her. They were very very loaded, and just saw it as easy money at a good rate.

On the other hand, their parents all paid £38k a year for them to go to the same university that you got to for FREE. *makes L shape with fingers*
