My son, is a mature student, 22, and started a law degree in September.
His rent each term, in halls is £1980 all in.
His entire SLC maintenance loan is £1200 per term. WTF, doesn't maintain much then.
On top of this he needs to eat, pay for books (not cheap), washing (occasionally ) etc...
The workload is pretty heavy and he is located in a small town with very little opportunity for a part-time job.
I am confused as to how someone whose father isn't a contractor can afford to study at all.
You hear how the total debt burden on finishing Uni is like £50k.
At the current rate it'll be £27k Tuition, £10.8k maintenance loan and £18k from me over the 3 years.
Any other folks experiencing this and how are your kids coping with this financial pressure?
