I'm not sure if I got's this totally wrong but when looking into finance it seems my maintenance loan will just cover my accommodation as I only get the 65% and I will not receive a maintenance bursary so I won't receive any money to help with day to day stuff. Is this how it is for most people?

I worked out what I think ill get and after accommodation costs I calculated about £15-£20 a week, not sure that's enough but ahwell... :s-smilie:
I think it's nearer 75%. You are lucky if your loan (around £3500) covers all of your accomodation, most people have to find £1000 or more to cover that before they even think about day to day stuff.

In answer to your question, that's what it's like if your parents earn £60k+, yes.
