What is Brunel uni classed as for student maintance?

Does anyone know what Brunel university gets in terms of student maintenance loans? I got told by sfe(student finance England) that Brunel is not in London and not classed as London, even tho it is in London. But I got a friend who went to Brunel and sfe paid her the London loans. Can anyone confirm which it is with them please?
I know Brunel is in Uxbridge which is in London, but I’m confused as to why sfe says they will pay outside of London but a friend got the living in London from sfe

Hi @Evelyn34
Brunel London University is classed as a London university and you will be entitled to London weighting from SFE,
Hope that helps 🙂

Is that what you personally got from sfe and the maintenance loan from sfe? Just wondered because when I spoke to sfe on the phone last week their exact words to me was “where’s Brunel?” And I said “Uxbridge, London” and their exact reply was “well according to our calculator we are calculating it from how far away from central London it is and it is 13 kilometres away from central London and that’s too far for us to give you the London weight in maintenance loans”
So I asked as I wanted to know whether you personally got the London maintenance loan from sfe for Brunel. And if sfe want to also tell me whether the person I spoke to (on the phone to sfe with the conversation above) is correct or not etc and why they’re saying Brunel not in London when even I know it’s in london

Hi there,
What is the full address including post code of the campus you will be studying and we can check this for you?
Thanks,
Claire

Brunel University, Kingston lane, London, ub8 3ph

Based on that information it doesn't fall under the London rate, but the only way we will know for sure is if you make an application and the assessor will review this and confirm for definite.
Thanks,

How can that be when it is in London even my friends who went to the university and that campus got London rate. This is why this is not sitting right in my eyes.

The information you're giving us shows it doesn't fall under the postcode to get the London Rate, but as I said the best way to find out for definite is to apply first so the assessor's can then check this.
Thanks,
Claire
