How much student loan did you owe when you graduated?

I owed £21,119 when I graduated in 2020 (Plan 2 in Wales). I had the highest amount of grants (maintenance and tuition fees) due to coming from a low-income household.

What about you?

£3500 in 1997. I feel awful for young people.

Same and same :(

About £12000. I got in just before the top-up fees came in. My brother is a few years younger and left with £30,000 worth of debt.

About the same, 2009. Paid it off in 2023.
