Repaying Student Loans

Are the Russel Group of Universities trying to preempt the Browne Review by suggesting students start repaying loans sooner and at a higher rate of interest

If they are, they regret their demands when they become fact.  Those from less-advantaged backgrounds may be put-off in applying thus altering these universties' widening participation numbers and for institutions like my own with a higher rate of social outreach they will fight to oppose this.  That said, one of the easy compromises to get rid of fees is to charge more for loans for living expenses.  This battle is set to continue.
