Hi, I'm kinda confused about how much student finance ill receive, I used the calculator and it said I should be entitled to around £9000, I'm an only child to a single parent who only makes about 8k a year, is this an accurate amount to expect? I just applied to accommodation yesterday that all overall come to around £133 a week in rent, I'm just worried that it'll turn out wrong and ill suddenly not be able to afford this , Thanks

Which university? Any cheaper options for accomodation?
The amount you've noted sounds right. One thing to watch out for is that if your parent has a partner living at the same address their income is also taken into the calculation despite the fact that they are not related to you.

I'm going to Cardiff as I have firmed their unconditional offer, the range for accommodation for self-catered was around £113 to £133 (a week) for nicer places, I also work myself but only as a Saturday job which makes me around £60 a week

How many weeks a year is the rent for? Term time only, 9 months or 12 months? Anyway, with an extra £60 a week from a job you'll be fine.

Hey, fantastic! Cardiff is a wonderful city - and generally cost of living is pretty decent. Have you looked into the Cardiff bursary? I think that should give you an additional £1000 in your first year which is pretty nice to have.
