Deferring.

 

[OzKo]

Paid.

How much does UNSW charge?

 

[soloooooo]

Defer that shit.

 

[TheStallion]

Paid.

How much does UNSW charge?

What do you mean how much does UNSW charge? It's a nationwide fee that's the same for all full time students.

But yeah I deferred it.

 

[soloooooo]

Its not the same nationwide actually. The maximum that can be charged is $263 per year, although it is up to individual universities as to how much of that they charge students (most have just charged the maximum however).

I think that each university can decide to charge whatever they feel like, as long as it wasn't over $263 or something like that? I think mine was around $135, I know it wasn't over $150. I guess it might depend from different faculties as well? Just hazarding a guess.

I deferred it.

 

[IamBread]

How do you deffer it?

 

[TheStallion]

Go onto my UNSW and head into the fee statement section, or read your student emails, we all got emails about how to do it.

It was probably $131.50 because they are charging the full $263, just pay half each semester.

 

[Mature Lamb]

Defering. That means an extra $131.50 on beers every semester.

 

[Shadowdude]

Deferring. Can't be bothered to pay.

 

[Lolsmith]

Already paid ye ye

 

[soloooooo]

Already paid ye ye

That is a bit dumb considering with the government loan scheme it is an interest free loan that only increases with the inflation rate. If the inflation rate is 3% or so (has been less in recent years though) over the next 4 years, person A who deferred will have more money in their hand (after paying the loan) if they had instead put the money in a 5.5% interest savings account rather than given it to the government now. You are ripping yourself off.

lol u r jkin rite

 

[IamBread]

Paid mine

 

[Lolsmith]

lol u r jkin rite

going out of my way to save $<50 over several years

lol with advice like this why aren't I already a billionaire

 

[soloooooo]

I am not joking. It takes literally < 2 minutes to defer online, and using net banking transfer money to savings account. You'd wait longer in line at a post office or bank to pay the bill upfront (let alone doing it each year).

 

[Lolsmith]

it took me 10 seconds to pay via BPAY champ

 

[soloooooo]

Well yes, okay. Although it would take the same to defer it really and you are now missing out on 2+% relative interest (compounded over 3 or 4 years). That could buy a bottle of scotch in the end etc.
