PurpleYouko:
I think tehy stopped the grants in England some time around 2000.
Now it is just like the US. You pay for everything.
Ulciscor:
Well I've got a grant from my local council that I don't have to pay back, but maybe it's a Wales thing.
PurpleYouko:
A grant to go to Oxford?
From your local council?

I had a friend whos parents were seperated/divorced. To avoid child support, my Friend's dad did all his business through his wife, who filed her taxes seperately.
Which ment that my friend managed to get oodles of grant and loan money, which he actually didn't need. He turned around and invested all that grant and load money.
2 years later, he has $75000 in cash. He's not even 20 yet. I don't know how much of that is loan money, but loan interest doesn't accumulate until after you leave school. So he's getting alot of interest from his investments.
THat's how the US system works. Poor upper middle class stiffs like me have to pay our own way, with maybe 2K in loans that you can get per semester.
Luckily tuition at my school is $2400 per semester for full time students. Mere pitances :P
