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.

A student with a 2:1/1st degree from a top 10 uni is going to earn far over that threshold anyway with their first job. Which is what bothers me. May as well accept that we're going to have to pay for spending all this cheap money on beer and chips. I'm over it.

I'm quite happy with this, means I get more money each month, although on the flip-side it'll take me longer to pay the thing off. Ah well.

It is not interest free. currently it stands at above the rate of inflation.
EDIT: My mistake; I forgot; It is interest free until you finish your studies. And it currently stands at 9% per annum.

I feel in a few years time this won't be the case. There are going to be too many graduates, and because of this, the wages for them will lower.
I only have a three grand loan. I hated uni, as I spent more time working (in Tesco) to support myself after the LEA decided that even though all my parents money was tied up in their morgage they could afford to keep me. They couldn't, my student loan covered my rent and tutition fees and left me with £20 to spend. In the end I left and did a three year apprenticeship with an IT company. Although I still don't earn that much, I'm far more usefull to the company than any graduate. I even had one the other day who could explain the algebra calculations etc that happen in a processor, but couldn't use FDISK.
No practical skills.

You're generalising a bit there, don't you think? Or is this a case of "students just laze about drinking and spending my money which I earnt good n proper and the government GRRRR THE GOVERNMENT just gives it to them lazy no skilled fools who drink beer all day every day"
I work at my course. My parents can afford to support me. And I spend time wasting. Not really going to apologise for that, and I get really angry at the generalist opinion of non-graduates.

Students should stop moaning.

That's enough from you. I bet you've stolen a lot of money and just live off that. Yeah, sounds about right. Big bank job.
Yep
To be fair I get easier in Scotland, I probably couldn't have gone to Uni if I had to pay a couple of grand every year.

Don't Scottish students still get exempted from fees if they go to uni in England?
