Rate of interest on SAAS loans?

Rate of interest on SAAS loans?

I haven't seen my student loan statement since i finished my 2nd year (out of 6) so I don't actually know how much I owe.

Based on some rough calculations though I reckon I'll have somewhere between 40-50% of it paid off by the end of this year and could have it all paid off in 2 years time.

SWEET

Impressive! How's post uni life treating you?

It's exhausting. I have exams in a little over a week so it's 2.30 on a Friday night/Saturday morning and I'm hunched over a desk doing statistics.

But only because I seriously neglected studying in months prior (that sounds rather familiar...), oh, and I'm getting paid for it so I can't really complain.

My office put me on an awful awful rotation back in January that lasted until 2 weeks ago (2 days a week every week), which basically sapped all of my enthusiasm for life, and I came out of it to go straight into exam-hibernation mode, so it's safe to say that I'm looking forward to April 26th somewhat. Apart from that I generally love my job, even though I was in the office until nearly 8pm tonight I don't mind because I enjoy what I'm doing.

How's Canada eh?

Sounds stressful and tiring, but at least it's money!

Canada is awesome, although equally stressful as nearly exams for me too (24th, 25th and 26th). Plus I've had the nasty realisation that my year abroad is nearly over and now I'm super sad and pretty much every time anyone mentions how much they're gonna miss me I have to forcefully restrain from bursting into tears.

Awww that must suck, surely you have a few months left yet? They'll fly in, but no quicker than they already have

Does anyone know whether Glasgow School of Art students will be able to play in the sports clubs/teams from 2013/14? Apparently from this year 2012/13 there are no facilities for GSA students to play any sports apart from the gym.

Does anyone know if the constitution will be changed for 2013/14 onwards as they had previously been able to be active in club sports and represent teams at the University of Glasgow? The degrees at GSA are validated by the University of Glasgow.

Apparently it was a change in insurance rather than GUSA wanting to exclude the Art School students. I'd advise emailing the uni sport & rec service about it, not sure if they're able/willing to reverse the decision though. It's a shame!

It is a shame. It's the thing that concerns me the most. Are you in any of the sports clubs/teams? Are the members able to do anything about it?

I thought it went by subject? Hmm I'm getting mine mid may this year, but I'm only 3rd year.

I'm in third year too. How do you find out the order they're being released? If it's mid-May for me too that's great.

Does anyone know if honours exam results are released one by one or all at the same time once every paper has been marked? I remember getting one result around 8 June last year but I'm leaving the country on the 2nd this year, would rather get them before I go away.
