Hopefully it might help some of you.

Just looked at the website and it says:

"For instance, buying just one CD for £9.99 each month can add up to £500 a year."

Yeah....

i (somehow) graduated completely debt-free in 2001, with an almost zen-like sense of cosmic harmony as my bank account balanced precariously at exactly £0.00...

Surely it is quite simple:

Get a job, not a loan
Don't spend more than you bring in.

Voila - you will graduate debt free. It worked for me the first time round...

Those articles are appauling. Badly written and factually incorrect. Advising people to put money into premium bonds!? Can students find nothing better to invest in? There is no mention of ISAs and they advertise the lowest priced share dealing with no article reference. As for 4 hours of lectures a week; I have 4 a day plus tutorials! Silly Article.
