Do you think students are given enough student finance?
I personally think that the finance that UK students get is acceptable.
What do you think?

No, I go uni in September...
No.
The loans system is massively flawed. It should not be based on household income as that is not your income. As an adult it should be based from your own savings and income.

I agree with this 100% but then I disagree in the way that if both parents earn a huge amount of money... Should the government pay large amounts for them?
It's a difficult one to discuss and the correct way to do it.
Yes!
Your not meant to have massive amounts of money for luxuries as a student!

Are you supposed to have enough to afford the most basic rent?

If they earn a lot of money then they will pay a lot of tax.

Depends on your parents income i would say.
Tuition fees on the other hand; definitely way too high imo

My parents didn't support me meaning my loan didn't even cover my rent which was only £3750 a year.

I am in that same situation! But live in Scotland and I'm grateful I don't have to worry about tution fees. My dad doesn't support me and I don't get enough to cover rent even when working part time.
I'm lucky enough to have a partner now who supports me but my loan is still based on my dads income because we are not married.

My parents don't see why they should be forced to pay out when they already pay far more tax. The system is not fair.

How is it not fair? You are your parents child, if they choose not support you, take it up with them, not the goverment

And where would the extra money come from?
My mum is a single widowed mother with 5 children and she's going to really struggle to support me at uni as her finances are already stretched so far. My brother has special needs so she works part time. She earns just over what the cut off household income is for a bursary so I will get no help. I think its unfair that she has to contribute more to my education than a parent of only £250 less income with an only child.
