where did you get 9000 pounds from?

No one should be spending 9000 pounds a year on living costs whilst at university.

I think most of it comes from the wages of the academic staff, when you prorate it across the students that's a lot because these guys are rollin in cash.

Also running costs like electricity and whatever.

That's what you were being asked. What do you think you need £9000 for? Where did you hear that you did?

you do not need £9000 to live on. More £6-7000. If you need to pay tuition fees then it'll vary by uni how much they are

cause to study in london i thought you get a loan of £9000 and you have to pay it back once you earn over £21,000. When i went to an open day thats what they said that you need £9000 every year...

LOL.

Staffing the uni, energy, internet, equipment, expansions, scholarships, funding research(?), etc.

LOL

Probably a question for 'the university administrator room' tbh... Though some places charge less than 9000.

You don't need £9000 a year. I doubt they are all talking crap so I think you must have misunderstood

You can get a fees loan to pay tuition which is up to £9000 then you can get £4,375 if you stay at home or £7,675 away from home in London for living costs. Those reflect actual costs of living. So depending on how you count it you need £4,375 or £13,375 (or a bit less if the uni don't charge £9000 but I think most in London are pretty close to it)

Are you sure you're ready for University life? You don't seem to have a clue what it entails...
