Nah actually I think I recall talking about my brother's situation in a similar thread a while back, he's like you in that he used a couple of years of his free tuition on a HNC/HND (IT) and so had to pony up his first year's tuition out of pocket to do a whole completely unrelated degree (Biochemistry or sth). So that's maybe why you were thinking of me.
I'm not sure whether he even considered taking a loan from SLC to cover the tuition, I didn't even know that was possible, and tbh I pretty much coached him through everything involved with being a mature student so if I didn't tell him it then he prolly wasn't finding out himself. But yeah, he just paid his tuition direct as a lump sum at the start of the year and that was that. He saved like a ***** to make that work, which is a bit unfortunate when you consider he could have just added it to that-loan-that-will-never-be-repaid.
