Can those of you who have funded/intend to fund your DCs through uni, so they don't need to take out loans, tell me if you have any regrets in this decision? What's the range of total annual costs (cheapest to most expensive) for students - tuition fees/accommodation and maintenance for different unis? How did you manage this financially?
I have friends telling me I'm stupid even to think about this and that DCs should take out student loans which they'll 'never have to pay back' - but given our DCs presumably aspire to earnings above the limit to pay back loans, surely many of them will be paying back loans for many years to come?
I'd rather my DCs leave uni debt free but this will have a significant impact on my own life and my future finances too. A price worth paying - or an unnecessary burden?
