I don't know, would it be too late? I ve already sent my form and everything and will be receiving my loan soon.


Nah just ring them up and ask, it shouldn't be too late yet no. And because you've already sent your application you won't get your money late you'll just be re-assessed. You will need to re-send a declaration form though I think.

Yeah but Oxford is the second most expensive city in the UK and the accommodation is significantly cheaper than London. I thought spending up to £600 a month on rent was insane but nearly 50% more? Mental. I know its London and everything but damn how can people afford/justify that?


In London we get a much higher loan... although you're right - it is hard to justify :/
