In the UK to pay for University most students take out a loan of around £3200 (it goes up every year) per university year (3-5) you also have the option to take out a maintenance loan which is around £2000
Most students in the UK walk out of university with a debt well over £10 grand.
...Thank fully it does not effect your credit scores and is not like a normal loan, you pay the bare minimum back once you start to earn £15 a year and the debt is written off after 20 years I believe
