if you get a DADA you dont get a student loan

Did you know that if you are good at drama or dance and get a scholarship to a top drama school you can't access the student loan system! There will be people on the same course who can because they didn't get a DADA!!! The plus side is you wont have any tuition fees to pay but the down side is that you may starve to death,,,

    After 3 hours of torturous slow death by teenage angst last night (daughters GCSE Drama class performances) this can only be a good thing.

    The scholarship can be worth far more than the student loan - and you don't have to pay it back.
