They are more than used to how shite it is.
Nah, there's some good things to do there. Some great bars and all that.

My student loan statement came in today. I calculated that at the rate I paid last year it would take me 80 years to repay the full amount.

Leave the country for 5 years and they wipe it. Or earn below the repayment threshold for 15 (?) years and they wipe it.

Or rob a bank. If you get away with it you can pay off your loan. If you get caught then you will not have to pay the loan while living in free accommodation.
Win-win.

15 years? gooseberry fool, 8 more to go. Not achieving anything in life is going to pay off. Maybe I'll save up, get into some further education then aim to get a decent wage once that time passes... (yeah like I would turn down a better wage now...)

Myth 7: "Moving abroad will mean that I don't have to pay back my loan"
This is one of those rumours that seems to spread amongst freshers like wildfire. Whether it's the thought of beating the system or just a good excuse to leave the country after graduating it, unfortunately, isn't true.
If you do plan on jetting off for warmer climes after graduating then you will need to inform the Student Loans Company and fill out an Overseas Income Assessment form.
You can try to run away but to play on a certain quote from a popular film: they will look for you, they will find you and they will make you pay.
