Can you live off a part-time job on your own?
I haven't seen a relevant thread, but please let me know if I should ask this questions somewhere else.
Anyway, here is my situation guys and I really need your advice.
I am a EU student, First Year at Uni of Sheffield from September 2014.
I can't count on financial support from my family since we are poor, I live only with one of my parents who is unemployed etc etc.
So do you think a part-time job will be enough to cover my living costs (they will be as low as possible since I'm used to having a tough life but I still need food and accomodation)? Will I even be able to get a part-time job? Iit says all over the forum that everyone has difficulties with this.
I'm wondering if anyone has been where I am now and if you can give me any advice.
And those who have or had a part time job during uni: how many hours did you guys manage to work per week, was it difficult to adjust your working hours to your course timetable?

It might be possible
Lets assume you get a part-time job working 20 hours a week, and earning £150 a week which is a bit optimistic
I'm guessing that accommodation would cost around £100 a week including bills, so that leaves roughly £50 for food and daily expenses which is enough for a week.
