Grats on getting in, sure you'll love it :D

While you may not want to get a student loan, it might be worth getting it for the fees which you wont have to start paying back until you finish the course. In plymouth it was hiked upto £3000 a year which I think is pretty standard these days but that's a lot of extra money to find on top of earning to live while you're there.

The other way to look at it is that you'll never get a loan at that low an APR so even if you can afford it without, it might be a good investment ready for when you finish uni.

2006 was a bad year; they introduced the new fees without the bursaries so I'm getting none of it payed by the government at all; it's just a low interest loan. Those starting in 2006 are paying between £6000 and £9000 more then anyonelse as a result. For anyone thinking all students are scrounging, I'm looking at about £25000 worth of debt AND I work over the summer :( To pay this back will take me years and years unless I go into a very high payed job. The loans aren't interest free, they're just lower then normal.

if i could get a student loan i would but sadly because its distance learning i cant get anything, i did all me phoning round and begging and was basically told to bugger off by everyone. Luckily i do have the money for the full course and its cheaper (pfft £5,935 cheap???) if i pay it all in one go rather than paying year by year as it goes up each year.

However, if anyone here has had any xp with distance learning and knows of any funding available i'd be mighty happy to hear about it :)

Being a student is great. No responsibility. You don't even have to wash. You can wear shite clothes and have the worlds most appalling taste in music, and you'll be accepted as one of the pack. You can dribble your food all down yourself, shit yourself, throw tantrums, get emotional every 5 minutes, make outrageous demands of your flat-mates, adopt a dead fox, steal traffic cones, and declare the disgusting way in which you live your life as post-modern self-effacing art.

Enjoy it ! Cos after coming up with every excuse in the world not to work and take responsibility for your actions, you'll have to get a job.

Unless of course you decide to "go travelling". LOL

lmao lamp ill be working while studenting...this seems to be a concept that no one can grasp

studying from home, working at same time...which basically means if i want to get the course done in 3 years (which i have to, cant afford any more lol) i have to kiss good bye to any free time i may have had and just eat sleep work and study for the next 3 years.

no dead foxes for me :(

There's always traffic cones. Or those little yellow plastic orange lights you sometimes see on skips

I'm an Open Uni graduate. You could work, fornicate and look up stuff on the net all at once while you were still in class (Virtual classroom).
