    i agree with you.
    thought my husband is doing radiography, and i will hopefully progress onto university to do occupational therapy or another nhs funded course. for a few reasons....your course fees are paid, so 10k less debt when you qualify, you have security of a job within the nhs. itsprobably the only field where your job really is secure!

    I am hoping that there will be at least one student account I can access when I return to study in September. Yes, my credit history is nowhere near repaired but it must look much better than it did. I am going to wait until my loan comes in and then approach a few banks. All I can do is keep my fingers crossed.
