-- Posted by senorita smirnoff at 6:10 pm on Jan. 27, 2008 at uni, we have a system called "HECS" which is where the government pays for all ur uni fees and you dont have to pay them back until you start earning over 40k a year, and theres no interest other than inflation. Also they take the money out with ur tax so its not like a big bill u have to suddenly find money for. -- Posted by chelseaisinlove16 at 6:11 pm on Jan. 27, 2008 ok, never been to austraila -- Posted by teeny at 6:12 pm on Jan. 27, 2008 man i wish things were like that here, not that my dad would qualify for it anyways. -- Posted by Graustein at 6:12 pm on Jan. 27, 2008 Really?

Wish the politicians in this country would get a clue like that... -- Posted by amiee 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.
