Oh look, Mr B.Liar is trying to get the student/ex student vote.

He's put the threshold up on repayments for student loans.

Now you have to earn £15,000 a year to make any repayments. (Instead of £10,000).

Now I pay nothing again. But he'll not get my vote.

Not sure, who'd want to go there anyway.
My Uni has too many English students, in my Medieval History group there are 12 people. 7 are English (with that annoying accent... like they're talking through their nose), 2 French, 2 Scottish and 1 Irish.

Stupid English

I haven't met a Welsh person... unless they have English accents... stupid English freeloaders.

" Oooooh I had to get up at half 8 this morning "
" Oh really... try half 6 whilst going to Uni and working 8 hours the night before "

It's not their fault but I hate them.

So much anger for one so young.

To be honest, I have to get up at 7:30 most days, but I don't really mind it. A 40 minute walk to uni, which I enjoy. Gives me a chance to listen to music without one of my housemates rubbish really heavy music blasting through my wall. I would turn mine up, but stuff like REM and Counting Crows can't really compete with Pantera.

I didn't mean that, its just that student do take a while to settle into the work enviroment, and some courses are absolute pants (e.g the one I did).

very true.
a lot of people go through college and uni, then pop out the other end of the tube with a degree and no idea what they want from life.

i left school and went straight to work until i was 22, when i decided on something a tad more fulfilling and THEN went to uni. It's a good way of doing things as you'll have practical experience of the working environment, stuff you really can't teach at uni (not that they seem to actually TEACH you much at all, just tell you what they want and leave you to it. WELL worth my £1200 a year :S )

Well, you can't really blame anyone else for that but yourself.

I thought that was the case until I noticed the interest mounting up on my student loan (on the loan statement) before I had finished my degree...
and I think the 9% per annum is what they will take from your pay (from anything you earn over the £15000).
