St Albans and Hatfield towns
Both St Albans - famed for the nearby Roman city of Verulamium - and Hatfield offer students the chance to unwind and enjoy their free time with the many shopping and entertainment options available. St Albans is the more substantial of the two towns, however, with its rich history stretching back to the time of the Romans and many shopping centres.The Forum Entertainment Centre and Forum Theatre in Hatfield are big favourites for students, while both towns enjoy a liberal sprinkling of cinemas, cafes, restaurants, bars, traditional pubs and nightclubs.
Student Loans
The University of Hertfordshire is allowed to charge new, full-time students up to £3,000 a year for tuition fees from September 2006. Many students will apply for a student loan to cover their tuition fees and day to day living costs. Student loans are the best option for borrowing money for college as interest rates are traditionally low and repayments don't start until graduated students are in work and are earning over £15,000.
