this isn't an essay, but a online student forum. a sample of 28 people is more than you have provided, which is absolutely zilch okay???


I just looked at CUG's interpretation of the 2012 HESA stats. Derby has some of the worst prospects going.

I get my final student finance payment of £3.6k in two weeks. What should i spend this on? I did buy some gold, but then cashed in 2/3s of that to pay off my credit cards. I will still have about £1k left over when i pay them all off now, so what should i spend this on??


how the hell do you even get that much student finance?! i can't even get that much in a year so can't even pay my rent with it

I think it won't be your choice. It's sad to say and I am sure it must be a blow, but it's the truth.


and if i get a doctorate?

i started the degree in 2011, plus i have a disability and a dependant, so i get top money i think?

that explains the difference?

Yeah makes a lot more sense was just confused as I have friends who got the max based on having no income (but minus disability or dependant) and they get quite a bit less

Omg Wolverhampton isn't a Russell group uni hahahaha! And sociology is rated one of the most unemployable degrees: http://www.hellou.co.uk/2014/03/2014s-top-20-degrees-likely-leave-jobseekers-3313/

So stop being nasty to this poor guy, can't stand people on here being stuck up ***** who judge others on their uni and course. FYI I study Midwifery (100% employment after university as qualified Midwife) at the 4th university in league tables for Nursing and Midwifery so don't try it with me.

I don't know who's depending on you financially but maybe you should think about what they need you to spend money on.

Or maybe you're a troll.
