Accommodation/ Maintenance Loan & Grant

If it helps, my boyfriend came from Northern Ireland and this meant he was not entitled to the any of the bursaries/scholarships. Because he applied late, he got Singer Hall. With 500 from his parents every term and the money he has leftover after accommodation prices, he has about £90 a week I think! It's enough but it goes pretty quickly (and you gotta remember he has that extra $500)! This is all from him being entitled to the full grant and loan possible

(Frankly, Singer Hall is expensive enough but it looks absolutely amazing and though Priory is around the cheapest he often finds the food terrible and has to go out with his mates afterwards and it really doesn't feel clean. I go home feeling like I need a second shower haha! - I might be high maintenance though so I'd be careful in taking advice from me hehe)

Thanks
I have actually been looking at Singer Hall and I thought that it looked like the best out of ones that I could afford from the Loans and Grants, and I have heard that the food in Priory Hall isn't the greatest. I really think that the obvious thing to do would be to look for a job to have extra income, but I suppose that is every students idea hahaha. I have been looking and people are saying that they are living off £25 a week, but that seems a bit low hahaha, but I suppose I shall have to see hahahaha :P

Yeah! Problem with catered halls is that you still have to cook for yourself on weekends and not having more than a microwave would just get frustrating How is that little possible! How much are you getting overall for loans and grants then? Enough to apply for Singer with enough left?

Yeah, that was my reaction haha. I will be getting the highest available which will give enough for Singer and then have some left over each term, but I would probably need extra money for the "student life" :P
