Oregon gives hope to American education, moves closer to 'free' college tuition

[Lonestriper]

Australia has had something similar to this since the 1970s, once you graduate you only start incurring repayments for student debt if you earn over a certain amount. I think at the moment it is set to $40 000

The uk has a similar system but at the current rate the majority of students won't fully pay off the loan.

This sounds neat, as someone who has always lived in Oregon. Though it probably won't have any effect on me by the time I'm done with school.

Or maybe that's the minimum percentage and you can elect to pay more at a time if you want?

[QUOTE=lavacano;41320027]As much as I agree with you, I'm willing to admit that I believe it's a subjective thing between WA and OR.

Because on the one hand, they pump your gas for you in Oregon. On the other hand, you're not allowed to make a right turn at a red light.[/QUOTE]

Yes you are. I have no idea where you got that idea.

Of course you can pay the whole thing at one payment if you are able to do that.

If that is forbidden, my god, who the fuck thinks up these things?
