Apparently the public does not like sophisticated humor and prefers we degrade ourselves to sex jokes.

Used to be generous state grants and tuition fee is still waived, but we like not having to risk defaulting on an annual basis. Low yield loans are chic.

I'm on an Australian Commonwealth Supported Place loan scheme (which is the norm in Australia).

It's an inflation-indexed no-interest loan paid out of the tax system once our income outpaces a particular income level.

On other hand apparently I can't live frugally enough to not take the loan.

Regarding student loans in Finland.
I do remember someone saying that because our stundent loan is so "cheap" it's stupid not to take it, if you are entitled to it.

That's how the loans work here I think, but since they're only the new normal I've never had to avail of one so I'm not entirely versed on their workings.

The state grant is still available mind, they're just harder to get (as in you now have to much closer to the breadline rather than just working class). How they work is that it covers the course fees and gives you three payouts per academic year. Was three installments of €1,500 when I was in uni but I believe it's around €900 now.

University fees were actually abolished in Australia, for 15 years (starting in the 70s).

But then the government decided they couldn't really afford it. Shame. Wouldn't mind, say, mortgaging Sydney to set up a perpetuity for uni fee abolition again.

I'm still rather annoyed that we sold off the rights to the oil we found off the coast, sure got back in the black but considering that was then quickly doubly achieved with a huge amount of tax revenue above expected a few months later that lovely little money earner could have gotten the education and healthcare budgets back in shape. Oy, live (or die to easily preventable medical complications in this case) and learn.
