    Is it possible to get a loan, to cover your collage fees for the 4 years your studying, and start paying back when you start working. ?

    Im working at weekends to put me through college. Pays reg fees, transport, food and socializing.
    Most of my classmates would either be on a grant, or get financial help from parents.
    If your parents income is below certain thresholds you'll get a grant and wont have to pay the registration fee either.

    I dont know of banks giving massive loans to students (as their is little security).
    However pharmacy students along with dentistry and medicine students in trinity can get a loan that isnt offered to other students on campus. I think its up to 2000 or so and you dont pay back until the end of the degree.

    You may be able to get a larger loan than this, but you would need a parent to go guarantor.
