if you are about to finnish your A-leves i suggest you go on to university..2 reasons for this;
1) you will have something to fall back on if you dont make it.
2) with my student loan i am saving it all as i have stayed at home and going to a university in my home town. so every year i save 3000 there plus 4000 pounds from working all over summer and part time so it works out to be at the end of my degree i have saved at least 28000 grand now thats good. NOTE this only works if you live at home and limit friday nights out and spend less on junk..its all worth it in the end ..I think
