    A little help with student finance/accommodation?
    I'm in my final year of sixth form and am looking into where I stand when it comes to student finance/accommodation..
    I have a two year old little girl, and am planning on going to university, but I feel a little lost when it comes to what I am entitled to and where I will be living, as obviously living on campus with my little girl is out of the option.
    Any advice would be helpful, and yes I have thought of contacting the student finance and loans company, I have their number and will call tomorrow. I just wanted to look into it tonight.
    Thank you in advance for any replies

    In terms of your accommodation, it's a really good idea, when looking at unis, to ask for detailed information about what family accommodation they have. Living on campus may not be so far out of the question as you think, as many universities do have some provision for family accommodation - but it varies a lot from place to place, and although it's obviosuly not the only thing (or even the main thing) you'd base your choice of where to study on, it's worth factoring in when you're deciding where to study.
