Education is the way forward and no sheik has the right to restrict or place a burden on the young. The islamic community either provide an alternative or keep their mouths shut on the issue of student loans.
The harm to oneself from lack of education outweights the risks of a loan if no alternative is available in order to engage with the dictates of the education funding.

I agree with Hyperactive, don't spend on things you can't afford. Save your money and then pay for it.

Do you have any idea how long it would take the average person without a degree and probably on minimun wage to save £13,580 for just the fees, minus accommodation, minus living expenses, minus books and God forbid you want to do medicine or become a lawyer and God forbid you're starting uni in 2012 and potentially paying £6,000 a year No one gets student loan because they love the idea of being in debt. Like Cirwaq said find a viable solution then feel free to critisize, otherwise let people do what they must. Allah is the judge.
