University Loans

University Loans
Why is it that middle class people seem to be missing out on everything. To survive in this country you either have to be filthy rich or have no money at all. If you earn just under £30,000 a year in your houshold you get hand outs even if you don't have any goals in life. I have fought to get where I am at the moment as I seem to be fighting aginst the goverment and their rules all the time. We earn just over £30,000 and we have to fight for everything.I go to college in the next county as it is the closest college which has a course which I wanted to do and which I am interested in.
I have to travel 30m a day to get there on a college bus which charges us £420 every term. We are having trouble affording this as I have two older sisters one of which who is finishing university and another who is starting.We find our money very tight as we have to pay so much money for me to go to college and my sisters to go to university just so we can have a life of our own and contribute to our society. The goverment are saying that they want more and more people to go to university but it is becoming more difficult for people like me to be able to afford itand get there.Why should some people get it free and some have to pay. We are doing the same courses and degrees and will leave with the same qualifications and job, the only difference is that one person would have got it free and another will come out with a huge debt abover their head. What ever happened to equal rights.Now I hear that they are changing the way it all works. The fees are going up from £1,100 up to £3,000. Instead of paying it at the begining of the year you will pay it at the end on top of your student debt.
So now when I go to university in a years time I will finish with and even bigger debt than my sisters and I will leave my family broke after they have worked for 30-35years of their life when some people don't even work for a day of theirs. I do not call this equal rights, do you?If you have similar problems to me and are being forced to re-look at your future I would love to hear from you, please add a comment.
