I believe that a student should not have to pay for their education but that the state should not subsidise their living (or non-student's living for that matter).

That was the case when I went to uni. I got no grant but I did not have to pay any tuition fees, either. I had to pay for my own rent and food, etc. but working for 3 months each summer easily covered that. I had the option of taking out a student loan but I did not need to.

The current situation forces students to take out a loan just to pay for their tuition fees. I would argue that is morally wrong.
