So, I've got an offer to Cambs this year, but as I am EU student, I'm not eligible for the maintenance loan/grant, and have to more or less manage my living costs myself. Together with my offer letter, I got a lovely piece of paper explaining that the costs of living for one year at Cambridge are around... £8,500 O.O Is it really THAT high? The rent is said to be £4,500 a year; what's the remaining £4000? I mean, that's a quite considerable sum, that I cannot afford, ha ha. I'd appreciate some answers from current students =)
