How much are your parents giving you per week at university?

[Deathly_Hallows]

Nothing. I'm using my own money, my overdraft and grants. Hopefully I'll get a part time job also.

Not a penny. I have a job down there, as well as the loan/grant/bursary.

[member398873]

£50 p/w throughout term time. And I'll be working about 8 hours a week alongside that.

[moody_bum]

Nothing. I got nothing for my undergrad course either.
I'm dipping into my savings to cover my lack of maintenance loan this year. Hopefully I'll find a job :/

[tnajamie]

NONE!!!!!!!!

[marky--mark]

I'm not getting a penny either, but they are still letting me stop at home during the holidays, which is more than some people I know. I guess if you think you'll need more than they're giving you (don't know how much that is), talk to them. If that fails, you might have to get a job at uni.

Right now, £10 a week untill my loan comes in, then I give it all back. After that, not a penny.

[jaydemikaela]

Nothing for living expenses but they've paid for my accomodation so I wouldn't expect anything.

[Persephone9]

Paying my rent, and I will live off/pay bills from my maintenance loan.

[rhys_o]

Wow, that's crazy.

I don't get any bursary or grant but I do take the student loan of around £3600 or so. I get around £500 a month from the parents, living costs, phone bill, rent etc. I pay £485 a month rent once all the bills are out, £30 for phone, £30-£40 a week on food. Travel costs etc as well. It really does all add up, they would rather I focus on getting great grades than working a bar job or something. I am now on a placement year though getting paid so I don't really need much help for this year but I will do again next year!

Of course I do know that this will bring on a ton of criticism but frankly I'm only answering your question honestly. I assume that you are trying to negotiate with the family how much your should get a week and should have all the info. I do understand I am at the other end of the spectrum to the other posters but there are plenty that get given more than I do.

I don't live a particularly student lifestyle to be honest that's why I spend so much. Also Brighton is so expensive. My 1 bed flat is £815 a month before any bills at all!

[Kabloomybuzz]

Nothing money wise. I'm managing off student loans and grants, though they will give me bits of food now and again

[MikeBaldock]

Not a penny.

[A-K-J]

£100 a week. They didn't want me to get a student loan or a job though, so that's why.

Fair enough, but we got told the opposite - take the loan out whether you need it or not as we'll never get such a good deal again.

I got £100 per month the first year, but nothing any more. I've had various jobs since I was 14, but I still get greeted with an application form every holiday...

Seems that anyone who says they're getting any kind of money will get an instant neg

[daisydaffodil]

My mum pays for my mobile phone, and she's giving me £20 towards my shopping this week. That's it.

My grandma gives me £500 at Freshers, Christmas and Easter though.

Well it is TSR!

[tommm]

What I get in loans + what my parents give me what someone with less well-off parents would get

[tooosh]

£20pw for everything, no exceptions - even if I'll starve that week

Come at me neggers.
