UK heads, 2v wasn't referring to what we call college over here. he was talking about university

as it stands we have to pay £3,145 this year for one year of our degrees, and the price has been rising each year since i started. International students have to pay more and they aren't entitled to student grants and loans as far as i know.

for tuition fees alone, you're looking at paying over 10 grand. and if you opted for taking out the student loan then that's about another 6-9 thousand pounds as well.

but the only redeeming quality about the cost of all this is that if you take out the tuition loan and other student finance, you pay a very small percentage of your paycheck back to them, and that's if you're earning £15k or more. If you don't manage to pay it off in 25 years or so, the debt is written off, and the repayments remain in line with inflation which is cool, unless, of course, you fail to get a payrise lol
