Hey everyone, I recently got my entitlement summary for this year's student finance (my first year) and it's just over 10K, (830 per month). This seems like a lot, but as i'll be living in london it's actually hardly anything. The cheapest accommodation that ensures you don't stabbed during the night is £325 per week and this excludes food, transport etc. Per month that's £1300. So if i'm getting £830 per month, but i have to pay £1300 just for a roof how am i meant to survive? My uni isn't a typical uni where you have days off to get a job etc. It's monday to friday 9am-5pm. Which only gives me enough time in the evening to get home, eat and recover for the next day. So that rules out the option of getting an evening job. I also plan to visit my family every other weekend, so a weekend job isn't applicable - nor would it pay enough. Do you guys/girls have any advise on what to do?
Thank you.
