I feel lucky that I got through university when we still had maintenance grants. I still had to get a student loan (a completely new idea over here at the time). We don't have the 'needing a Masters' thing, although it's a help if you want to go into management in some fields. Which is fortunate, because they're f***ing expensive. The thing that's killing me is not being able to do it full-time. Working and studying and having to pay for it all plus the transport (up to £100 a week, every week of term) was just too much. (Sorry, I'm whining...) I'm looking at the OU (Open University), which is all distance learning, but the course I was on is only available at Goldsmiths... oh well.
