Student loans have to be paid back when student starts earning £21k. Try living off that in London, Brighton etc
@RobKRead Have you seen rent prices in London? Thick end of £1,000 for a studio flat. Take home of less than £1,500 on £21k a year.

@bazzacollins and on £21k you pay £0 of yr student loan. Earn £22k and you pay £1.50 a week. Still not defending it! -
@bazzacollins Bigger issue is giving Unis license to print money by lifting £9k fee and numbers caps. -
@RobKRead Indeed. I hate idea of students starting life with tens of thousands of pounds of debt. -
@bazzacollins@RobKRead I went to Uni at 22 -didn't fit In well @ school. I wouldn't dare now leave a job and take the risk and the debt -
@sedlescombemike@bazzacollins Yes - adult numbers in HE have nose-dived. Although ironically they pay back less than 18 yr olds. -
@RobKRead@sedlescombemike Doubt I would go now. Really hate debt. Have always lived within my means. Worked through uni to avoid big loans. -
@bazzacollins@RobKRead As I had worked - and this is the 80's - I got everything paid and a full grant. Hate seeing what is put upon young
