Alvin Hall Gives Advice on How to Survive University

admin — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 15:58:58 +0000

Independent Financial Expert, Alvin Hall answers parents and students’ questions on how to survive the financial pressures of university life. New research reveals almost a third of 17 – 25 year olds starting university in the autumn will live at home to save money. A quarter of students-to-be believe that the economy is so bad that getting into debt is inevitable and a third think that soon the costs of going to university will outweigh the benefits. Worryingly, almost half believe that today’s undergraduates will be the most financially disadvantaged for many generations. However, a quarter of students admit that if money was no object they would prefer to live in halls and live an independent life. More than a quarter of new students will be taking a job during term time to help ends meet and one in ten will be seeking employment in the holidays to earn some extra cash for term-time.

But one of the two bills he signed into law also made unrelated changes in the federal student loan program. These changes will require new loans to come directly from the Department of Education. The department already makes these federally guaranteed loans for American citizens and permanent legal residents. But since the early nineteen nineties it has also paid private lenders to provide them. Now, as of July first, all new loans will go though the direct loan program only. Officials say the new law will save the government sixty-one billion dollars over ten years. The plan is to use more than half the savings to provide more federal Pell Grants to needy students. A few billion will also go to schools that traditionally serve minorities and to help two-year community colleges. The new law will reduce the most that borrowers must repay each year from fifteen percent of their income to ten percent. And the longest repayment period will be shortened from twenty-five years.
