  • Paying off an actual student loan is just like paying a higher rate of tax. I earn fuck all, so am currently paying £20 per month. This won't cover the interest on the loan, so I doubt it will ever be paid off.
    My issue is the publicity and naming of it, to deliberately put off potential students from low income backgrounds.

  • There was some research on fullfacts (not a bad site, though always read more than one source) that lower income students were not put off by the loans.

    Perhaps counterintuitive, I would be, but there you go :)
