Re: Is £13,000 alot of money for a student who is 21 years oldVery much doubt it unless they've made some very good savings via their family or been lucky with P/T jobs.
You can be quite happy at uni with a lot less than that. -

Re: Is £13,000 alot of money for a student who is 21 years oldWell i certainly wouldnt argue with it, let me put it that way and considering the vast majority of students are usually complaining about how theyve got but a couple of pounds to their name it is pretty good yes...

Re: Is £13,000 alot of money for a student who is 21 years oldYeah it's a lot, are you going into your first year or have you already started?
You should work out how much you need and put some of the rest in an ISA - if it's in a high interest savings account you can make some more money off it, that's what I plan to do with some of mine anyway

Re: Is £13,000 alot of money for a student who is 21 years oldI would doubt it.............as your living at home you'll be saving a lot, but if your starting uni this year with the 9k than I would say it's a different story.(Original post by markread45)
would the average 21 year old have it?? -

Re: Is £13,000 alot of money for a student who is 21 years oldim saying if its 9k fee, he'll be more inclined pay it off early, but if he's not, £13k is a quite a lot for a student.(Original post by cid)

Re: Is £13,000 alot of money for a student who is 21 years oldDepends on the context doesn't it(Original post by markread45)

For some people that is nothing, for others it represents an annual income
Also depends on why you have it and what your personal outgoings are -

Re: Is £13,000 alot of money for a student who is 21 years oldIs it average what(Original post by markread45)
is it average?
average savings = no
average salary = unlikely since it would be part time work
average inheritance = no but not unlikely
or average something else
