I read an article in the MEN last week about this guy who had spent £15,000 on 'doing up' his car. It had 4 TV's a Play Station, CD player and changer etc etc. When asked where he had got the money from to do it he claimed that he worked a part time job and funded the rest with his Student Loan. Yes, he was a student at university and to think that such individuals are in the minority is wrong. I don't criticise this person for spending his student loan on his car because he will be paying it back once he has graduated. It is all very well painting an idealistic picture about teenagers having the right to grants and their tuition fees paid for them; but let's face it, I don't think that anyone would be happy with taxpayers money going towards a new playstation for a student car. If education is to be free then there should be stringent tests to ensure that the money is not wasted and the people that do go to university really want to be there to study for their future.
