Replies toastme16 Posted at 8:25 pm on Feb. 1, 2008 what about the girls??????????????????????? amiee Posted at 4:38 am on Jan. 31, 2008 That's why it rocks to be educated in Scotland too. Scottish student = no paying for tuition fees. Woohoo. All we have to pay back is a student loan, should we wish to take one out (and which is generally only ever £10,000 for the four years) and which we only pay back when we're earning enough.
