Students are highly confused by the new university tuition fees and loans system which begins this month, research published today by the Independent Taskforce on Student Finance Information reveals.
Students heading to university this autumn can expect to spend an average £9,250 a year on the cost of living, according to research published on the day A Level results come out.
The communication of student fees has been described as a "national scandal" as a poll shows 59% of people in England feel they have little or no understanding of the new finance system.
