Hey, do you have a student union or something? That’s next to impossible to do otherwise your tuition fees won’t be paid. Maybe they’re saying that just to scare you guys?
I hope they don’t do that at all uni’s 😭 I wouldn’t go atp. But I think they do on the first day when you check in, but then afterwards when u get sfe for the term they won’t? It sounds weird.
Was it sent in an email or something before the start? And also I would get in contact with other departments to see what’s up with that.
If you’re lucky and your accom is run by the uni, I would talk to them/email them. If not, still talk to your university about it because it seems unrealistic bc your maintenance loan is supposed to cover your living costs and stuff.
