It is as though many people are of the belief that all students pay their HECS contribution up front and that to not do so is financial suicide. I cannot understand arguments such as the one quoted above, because quite frankly, they don't make sense. Yes, costs for many are prohibitive (the caption attached to the article's picture is a case in point), but the HECS-Help component shouldn't be considered as such. Yes, it will be quite a bit of money by the end of your degree, but it's a deferred cost and one that will not be repaid in a manner that cripples your finances. I'm of the belief that the HECS level shouldn't be too high, though."My family can't afford to pay the university fees up front, so I will be taking out a HECS loan," she said. "I don't think it's a good way to start life, owing the government $40,000."
