    Have SAAS agreed to pay for your university tuition as well? They usually only pay for the four years of university (or five if your course is five).

    You'll pay back the loan under the usual terms: 9% of what you earn over £15,000.

    As above, however just to clarify that you will enter Repayment status the April following graduation/withdrawal.

    If everything goes to plan regarding matching up your National Insurance number with your employer and HMRC your deductions should commence as soon as you start earning over £15K.

    yeah SAAS pay the college and give my bursary (215 a month)
    and i get my student loan from the student loan company (134 a month)

    They only give you four years of money, really i thought it was 6.
    Crap, do you think i'll be able to do honors then?

    So you'll be entering your third year of university after college? I'm pretty sure you'd need to pay for one year of your tuition unless you have mitigating circumstances as to why you dropped out.
