The news always seems to be full of stories about huge student debt and astronomical interest rates. But, what no one tells you is that the student loan isn't like other kinds of debt. If you took out a tuition fee loan (for course fees) and/or a maintenance loan (for living costs), the total amount you borrowed is your student loan (remember that grants, bursaries and scholarships don't have to be repaid). However, student finance repayments don't
start
until the april after you've left your course and when you're earning above a certain amount. Even then, you'll only repay 9% of your earnings over the threshold.
