I paid 50% of it straight up when I left uni (I had around 11k off the top of my head)
Why on earth would you do that?

When you're a student not earning you value money a lot more than say, you're in a £20k full time job.
Why on earth would you do that?
Not personally. I've been out of uni around 2 years, now earning around £45k and value money a lot more than I did at Uni. Yes, I have more coming in but I also have more outgoing.
I'm with freefaller, I'd rather ditch debt ASAP than sit on it. Not like he is without savings and no doubt is playing the interest rates against each other depending on what's the best value.

This. The amount they take really hurts when you add tax, NI etc.nothing, stick it in an ISA if you don't need it for essentials and a bit of fun, the amounts taken out your pay packet are not small, once you start earning a decent wage.
What I mean is how can you have so much left over if you only get the loan?You think wrong. I'm currently living in a cheap student house with a couple of mates. You'd be surprised how much a lot of students spend on alcohol; £25+ a night, ~3 times a week. That adds up. Money I can spend on more material things.
