    gollark: No advice on subject choice since I'm bad at making decisions (I only have to apply *next* year personally so I can put it off).
    gollark: It may not be exactly 9% actually but around that sort of figure.
    gollark: You do apparently need to apply quite soon, though, unless you wait until next year or something.
    gollark: Well, UK student loans are "only" paid back as 9% of your income over £27000 or so, so it actually isn't *that* terrible.
    gollark: Also they're pretty nice pets, as long as they don't bite you or something.
