Hi,
I'm due to begin a second degree in September. It's NHS funded with a small bursary. Apparently I am able to apply for an additional maintenance loan from Student Finance (despite what the site says, it seems some courses will allow additional loan applications with a first degree already). I can't decide if it's worth it or not, so I'm looking for some input.
I already have a fairly substantial student debt from my previous degree and postgraduate studies, so feel a bit dubious about adding to the pile.
I have some money in savings from working the past few years, and am going to stay on as 'bank' staff at my current job while not at university.
Is it worth applying for the loan, or would it be best to just use the grant combined with savings?
