Its ok Im not sure about the bursary, i got a 2.2 so i dont get a bursary so im going to be keeping my part time job during the PGCE so havent looked into it since i found out i get nothing! Im doing upper primary, which i cant wait for! Im going to be commuting from nottingham because i didnt want to move out so i can save some money but if i struggle then i will have to. What about you?

If I get on I will be commuting from Nottingham too! On the bursary its on the tda website and it is paid from the uni per month I think. 9k for a first (so I hope I get on as I got a first!!) and 5k for the 2:1.

Its a good hour and half drive, atleast car share would be an option if you meet the right people!

Now I'm in I don't mind giving a lift for petrol contribution, all helps, although they do help pay for travel but I think that's only for placements, not for getting to uni. But I will be driving anyway so if anyone needs a lift and lives close enough to me to get in mornings I don't mind. Public transport is not that reliable and probably much more expensive... But I dunno!

I dont mind chipping in for petrol to uni and stuff. But it does depend where you live? and i suppose depends on timetables and stuff too
