It took 10 years, three ex’s, two countries, and living with my mother for a bit, but I finally paid it all off.
Ask me how I feel. The guy who took my final payment on the phone was happier than I was

My brother’s in a similar boat (almost triple digits), so he’s hiding out and waiting for it to blow over. I could have done the same maybe, but it would have been another 12 years and I was just sick of it.
Why did they do this to us? Sell us on the idea that the only way to land a cushy job was to go to uni, when there were barely enough jobs going around when we got out.
I hate this. I look at my parents generation with jealousy, they had no idea how good they had it
I remember when I was in college and they specifically took us to another campus, they were talking to us about university. It was basically sold to us as if “it’s practically a free loan, you’d be silly not to get it.”
We were all around the age of 17/18. If a bank or any other service had done that to us there would have probably been massive repercussions, maybe there would have been something brought up about us being miss-sold a product.
Looking back I feel it was very predatory given we were so young and essentially in a vulnerable state while trying to decide our futures.
