First year wanting to withdraw!

Hi, basically I started my undergrad course September this year so I'm a first year. I am wanting to withdraw because I'm struggling and really unhappy being at Uni. I also have a 3 year old son and a family member whose got a terminal illness so I've a lot of stress and can't cope. As im a single parent I get the highest amount of SF, maintenance loan & I also get a grant that I don't have to go pay back. I went to the withdraw page and it said I'd have to pay the Uni £2300 roughly. Does this come out when I'm earning £21k like ST does or is it different. Stupidly I have spent a lot of money and don't have even £1500 left on my student account so if they want the money immediately I physically can't do it? What do I do? Can someone help me please I'm desperate and anxious! TIA.

Im sure they wont want it immediately though?

It wouldn't be fair if they Did, they can't expect students to have that much money left?

But students only pay a little bit after uni even when they are working, like even the bit they pay after they are earning 21k+ is really small but you could ring them tbh

Yeah exactly, you'd think this would be the same! Probably the best idea.

Guys - keep it friendly please.

OP - if you can't afford to pay it back, talk to SFE about a repayment plan.

If you leave partway through a term you do have to pay a proportion of student finance back straight away.

But how can I pay it back immediately if I don't even have that money? I can't ask my parents and I hate borrowing money from my family as it is, even £20. It's not fair, it should be treated the same as if you finish your degree. Lots of people drop out because they can't afford Uni as it is.
