£9000 a year is a lot of money. For a 3 year course thats £27,000 (my Maths degree did come in handy then?)
I was fortunate when I was that it was free in those days. I am on a reasonable income but I struggle to pay off a few hundred a month on credit cards etc, hate to think I had a £27,000 loan. Plus also any students now wanting to buy a house will have a massive mortgage. A basic flat costs £120,000. If a student leaves uni now and get a job on £30,000 which is good for a graduate starting salary they could only get a mortgage for about £90K max leaving a shortfall of £30,00 that would have to be saved. Saved from where?, they already have a £27,000 debt to pay off.
