that's true. the actual payment of the thing has never been an issue with us, since repaying it is dead easy and doesn't cripple you. what mostly got us was the cause behind it - i.e. the 80% cut in uni funding, that;s what we're annoyed about. As a result, I'm going to be paying £9,000 for three years of education, and you could be paying £27,000 for the same education with less gov funding. :/
btw - what course are you thinking of doing? ^^
