    Student Maintenance Loan - Pay My Accommodation And/Or Food? (Living Expenses)
    Will the Maintenance Loan be able to pay for my accommodation and the food im going to have to buy and the rest of the living expenses if any?

    Thanks in advance!

    You live away from home and study outside London £5500
    You live away from home and study in London £7675
    You spend a year of a UK course studying overseas £6535

    It's very unlikely that it'll pay for absolutely everything - you'll probably have to get a part time job of sorts to help cover anything that it doesn't end up being able to stretch to.

    Unlikely, though this depends on accomodation- if you got cheap halls which were only around £3000 then maybe.
