I’m a bit worried. I’m due to start next year doing my UNPAID placement year as a veterinary nurse. I won’t be near home and I’m expected to recieve a reduced maintenance loan of just £2,000 however this surely is not enough for me to pay for rent let alone food. It’s worked out to be around £50 a week. What can I do as other support? I can’t work during the year as I’ll be at my placement which will not pay me. I am really panicking as I don’t see how I will be able to live.
I get £1,000 a year a a low income bursary but that’s the only other financial help I’ll have and still isn’t enough to live off
