My parents are somewhat rich so I only qualify for the minimum maintenance loan, but they don't want to give me any money for living costs because they'd rather go on a second holiday every year (fair nuff). My plan to not starve:
> Get a boyfriend or girlfriend
> Convince them to go to the same uni as me
> Move in together in the cheapest one-person student accommodation with an ensuite bathroom we can find (at most unis this is around 170 quid/week, so if we split costs equally it's 85pppw)
> Use the remaining 2 pounds left over from my maintence loan, plus money selling feet pics, for food
