My son is coming to Reading in September. He is only entitled to the lowest amount for his loan as both me and my husband work full time.
His living allowance doesn’t even cover the cost of his accommodations, so already will have to find an extra £2 thousand to cover the accommodations. I’m starting to worry about mounting costs, but I don’t want him to worry about money and I want him to be able to enjoy uni life and not be skint and miserable all the time.
My question is - how much, realistically should I give to my son to live on each month? Food, social, travel, clothes, uni supplies.
Thanks.
