Admittedly you don't have to pay back the loan until you earn over £10,000 per year.
Having £2,300 pounds is actually quite impressive for a student. I'm good at conserving money, and have nice generous parents who pay my tuition and hall fees for me. A lot of my friends are already bordering on the red.I'm not Weird, I'm Gifted!

For me, the loan provides security ... I don't have to worry about how much money (cos I'm sensible with it), and, at the end of term, some of it will go into a high interest account, to try and get some money out of it.I'm not Weird, I'm Gifted!

Originally posted by jonnoIn my case, my parents do - but they aren't required to. And the student loan is the only thing you can get - no 'gifts' from the government (although, if your parents are low earners, you can get a larger maximum loan - still has to be payed back though).The doctor told me Im insane, thank God! its so much better then being outsane!
