All the Colleges of Further Education around here became Polytechnics and then became Universities.Doesn't anyone go to a college anymore? Everyone seems to go to a "uni".

Couple of my friends went to uni back then, their biggest financial gripe was having to pay for their own books.....The above made me smile.
No "Uni" - no £45k debt.
Uni was not an option for me in 1983 either.
My daughter did two years at college after leaving school at 16, then toddled off to uni.Doesn't anyone go to a college anymore? Everyone seems to go to a "uni".

Two degrees one in Milan one in England then two masters and a PhD£240k - unreal (or am I just getting old?).
Truth please....?
But the big question is, was he any good and was it money wellTwo degrees one in Milan one in England then two masters and a PhD
Mental money but the chaps first job was at 32 years old and started on £64k
Alternatively, start work at 16 and average £25k and he'd have earned £400k. So including the £240k debt he'd be £640k better off.Two degrees one in Milan one in England then two masters and a PhD

He won’t pay even half of it back so no he would be stuck at max £35k/40k if he’s luckyAlternatively, start work at 16 and average £25k and he'd have earned £400k. So including the £240k debt he'd be £640k better off.
I cant figure out how you run up 240k of debt within the student loan system. I'm not sure urs actually possible - are they just bragging about debt and making it up. Max course fees are just over 9k a year even with subsistence on top i still dont see how you get close to 240k.
