Also they take the money out with ur tax so its not like a big bill u have to suddenly find money for.

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.
