nagzk 1,759 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 if you can avoid it, don't. If you feel like it's a burden on your parents look into scholrshops. Make a loan your last resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaniPi 2,626 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I do, but its no where near as much as it is now. I was one of the last people on the old tuition fees, before they raised it in the UK. Also, if your parents are helping you pay for it, I'd take it. You're lucky you have that option.

nagzk 1,759 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Why should I avoid it tho? I think education is really important to be successful the interest rates are ridiculous, education is important but it's the sad truth those loans don't have students in mind. Just make sure you read the fine print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what my counselor told me. 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*lesigh* 6,759 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Why would you put yourself in a situation where you'll be in debt for a good percentage of your life if you don't have to? Be very grateful that you live with a family that can and is willing to fully pay for your education. Most people (like myself) aren't as lucky, and will have to depend on scholarships or risk going thousands of dollars in debt just to get what has now become the bare minimum education required to get any job.

If I was your mom, I'd much rather pay those college fees than make you suffer by having to get loans that you'll be paying for years. If you can avoid paying for it, do it. Try scholarships, make getting loans your last resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
