poor students

[prime1]

I went to Hull, not too bad, fuckign dull technology people, all have beards and wear some seriously tight ancle swinging brown polyester trousers. Basicaly hiding in a uni because they couldnt face the real world. probably for the best.

The 90 hours a week student, or the student that hasnt spent a good portion of his/her money on beer/crap/unnecassary cloathes/holidays (it happens) is the exception and not the rule, most, certainly when i went in 2000, had plenty of spare cash.

The first year at uni is the doss year, for most courses the work load is light, and theres plenty of slack, the work picks up from there till the end.

Problem is that people who are working in this time dont have the freedoms, they are stuck in most cases to 9-5, they have a heft chunk cut out of their wages every month and a part of this goes to subsiding sum lazy layabout student going to 1 or 2 lectures a day then getting pissed. Thats what gives students a bad rep.

I tbh i take the piss out of student mates as a joke, im not really bothered, and i think most people are the same, its just an excuse to have a go

I don't need to know anything about it to be honest i've had a lot of friends go through uni and they've only come out with £5k debt at a maximum.

Missed this little gem.

So, your mates are only gathering an average of £833 per year debt?

Most people will attend uni for about 4-6 years. I know I'll certainly be doing 6 years between 2004 and 2010. In that time I'll have £3,600 of a student loan per year.

That's £21,600 over the 6 years.

Neglecting to factor in £1,100 per year tuition fees for those 6 years.

At most I'll be able to take on a part time job over those 6 years, (2 degrees and a Ph.D will be too time consuming to cope with a full time job on top), so if your mates are paying off about £15,000 of debt via part time jobs over 6 years then they must be working as drug dealers or ho's.

Or they're only at Uni for 2 years before flunking out

hangon a minute.. u r supposed to use the loan, to pay the tuition fees.... most peopel go to uni for 3 - 4 years, standard courses are 3 years, a masters is usually an extra year and so on.

just a side note, has anyone had problems with their loan cheque?

i put mine in my bank on Tuesday, the money has been credited, but i still cant use it :/

last year it was instantly cleared, have they changed this year?

or is Natwest just fucking me about, if so they gonna get some abuse tomorrow!

They take longer to clear than normal cheques, but if you go in the bank, some places let you draw money out against it.

Probably. Although I don't speak to them anymore, so I wouldn't know
