New student/single parent/universal credit

Hi, I'm new here and wondering if anyone can help. I'm starting my first year of uni in a few weeks and have been granted student finance of 9k plus maintenance grant. I'm currently working but get universal credit aswel. Ive handed in my notice in work to turn to bank staff so i can focus on uni. I'm a single mum of two and live with them in a rented home.
My question is does anyone here have the same situation as I do and can tell me if it's a stuggle? I can't find anything online to help me. I've been told ill still get UC but not how much. If anyone can help me by telling me their situation and whether they get by or struggle it would help me out. Thanks x
