Before I start I would like to let you know that I was silly and submitted my finance form in 1st of August which is a tad late. Contrary to that, why does it take so long!
It does state that applications can take “6-8 weeks” but what are they doing at the student finance departments across the country, sitting on their arse, eating Haribo, watching YouTube? I don’t know if you have heard but over 150,000 students in England are with out student loans!
Granted there is a larger volume of students applying for university this year due to the recession, but the way I see it why didn’t they employ more staff to compensate? This way there would have been less unemployment, spark the economy…and BOOM solve the student loan fiasco. Or am I barking up the wrong tree here?

I think that the whole situitaion amounts to negligence. As it is, I don’t get a loan full stop, even though I’m training to be in the health service, which I think is wrong, but hey, I’m just a student, and the government couldn’t give two hoots about us.
Quite true, I’m living with 3 guys who haven’t had theirs yet.
I cannot comment on the accuracy of the haribo theory but ye, it really shouldn’t take this long. People need their loans to pay for accomodation, equipment, travel and beer.
Without these things, we are not students
