That has flaws as well. I didnt pass 7th form. I now have an A- average in a B.com IT major.

same here, failed 7th form and am finding my engineering degree pretty cruisy. they do need to limit the intake of arts students tho, several of my mates are doin arts degrees cus the didnt want to work but culdnt decide what to do. and i overheard an english major joking with her friends about how she was gona gona go on the doll as soon as she graduated, made me wanna tell her to go get fucked, shes worse than those fucking 2nd or even 3rd generation islander beneficiaries as she should no better.

Its called a ''Student Loan'' so one would assume its a loan.....

Cant argue with that , I mean Student grant or student from your tax gift doesn't have the same ring to it when you try to select and demonise a section of the community in order to Justify ideology

Its a similar argument regarding the ACC, Does the Community support the person or does the individual , I prefer a community as individuals tend to look after themselves ......

One good thing about living in this and age.. The evidence has had time to emerge .

Milk anyone?

anyway Its only a loan because the government at the time were hell bent on following this new right adgenda, Using a business model and making people compete for work ( so that they neeed a higher education) and putting the "loan" on the government books as an asset ( nice bit of accounting )

it fitted nicely with their ideals, and destroyed ( ing ) a country,

Dont complain, Individuals look after number one , and they are doing just that ... everything is just how it should be ... well done

The VAST majority of the inflation figure is petrol. The price of crude oil is not influenced in any way by the RBNZ

Gay boy degree...what utter bollocks.
My first degree was with Unitec (Bach Construction Management), which I did full time while working full time as a project manager. Nothing wrong with Unitec, many of the programmes that they offer are well put together with an emphasis on practical experience.
I also have been through Massey University (Bachelor Business, Marketing & IT double major) and have also completed a few papers at Auckland University...so I have experienced more than just the taste of vanilla.

I HATE how those who go through U of Akl genuinely think that they are superior.

Secondly, do Auckland University not have some standard for correct grammar and punctuation??

Would have been nice to go to Uni when it was free...

It was never "free" -way back when (in my case late 60's)
But - most students qualified for a 90% fees and allowances grant - so all we payed for was books and 10% of fees - still meant I had to work in the holidays and have a part time term job, but then we had the freezing works, wool stores and the wharf.....

Good one. We live in NZ, not North Korea.

I recently disappeared off shore for a 2 month contract. On return, I made a lump sum $15k payment off my loan.

Your passport idea would have precluded that - still sound like a good idea?

I don't know where you get the North Korea comparison from. Where I come from, people settle their debts or pay the consequences. Quite simple really.

Too many don't think like you seem to do. Too many are not stand up cunts, and think the rest of society owes them a living. Well we don't, and unfortunately, like all legislation, it would need to be tailored for the lowest common denominator.

In situations like yours there could be an application process where arrangements are vetted and sponsors / guaranteurs are signed up to ensure the applicant isn't going to do a runner before being considered for a limited passport.

I have been to a few different institutions as well. Im finding UoA more challenging than massey in a B.Com. Generally, papers are often harder at UoA, but not always the case, and Massey offers different degrees that UoA does not do.

Dont get me started on 'AUT we need University in our name twice because we are a real university, honest.'

Bro wasnt having a dig, i no they offer good programmes but it is well known that the engineering degree there is much easier and not as highly regaurded as a UoA engineering degree, i have met lots of people that did there first 2 years at tec then crossed over to finish at auckland for that reason, its a well known alternate pathway, i had to do a year of Bsc to gets my math and physics up to scratch. Peace.

and re the grammer, yeah we gota sit an english screening test which was very easy, i talks guds wens i needs to.

It's a simple fix really.
Each knob head student works 8hrs a day for 1yr, scooping poo/tampons/vomit etc out of ChCh fucked up sewer system, and we will take $100 off their student loan.
If they refuse, they are shot, and the invoice for the bullet is sent to their nanna.
Most of them will never work,so at least they get a student loan discount and for once in their pathetic lives, get their hands dirty

I have a student loan, I'll never pay it back, I'm going to hide in a top secret location in the Amazon and masturbate into jars.
I'll pay it back after I'm finished studying, promise.
