HND in Building from Oxford Poly. Finished with £100 overdraft.
BA Fine Arts (Sculpture) Bristol Poly (turned into UWE while I was there). Finished with£3k of student loans.
HND lead to me now running my own company. And I take every other Friday off to ride.
BA means I can weld (VERY) badly and put up shelves straight.
Not certain I would want to do an arts degree now if it meant £30k+ debt at the end. Which is a real shame.
