Here in New Zealand, we have interest free student loans. There are minimum repayments (as a percentage of income), and the loan is no longer interest free if you go overseas for more than 6 months of the year.
Since inflation is a given, student loans are effectively negative interest over time.
It also means that if you graduate, and can't find a high paying job, you're not crippled by interest payments (there's also a minimum income threshold).
