Student Finance Brighton University

Hi,First time poster with VERY limited knowledge on how this works, please be gentle! :smile:My daughter started at Brighton University this September, and due to a mix up with the registration, has just received her first maintenance loan payment of roughly £3380. She has received notification to pay her accommodation instalment of £3000 on Thursday of this week. She is in a panic now as this leaves less than £400 to live on until January.Her mum (who she lives with full time) arranged the student finance information and I have been out of the loop until now, and wasn't made aware of the actual finance amounts. I would be grateful if anybody has any insight into any further help available. Is the Brighton Boost included within the maintenance loan? Can she move accommodation due to the cost now that she's moved in already? Any tips on living costs whilst in Brighton and whilst she is looking for work will be much appreciated. Thank you for reading.
Hi @Geo-Jim

Apologies for the late reply, I hope this has now been resolved and your daughter is enjoying her time at Brighton Uni.

If she hasn't been in touch I would recommend she contacts our Student Advice Team on 01273 642888 and they will be able to discuss her options with her regarding additional financial support. She is also welcome to contact our Course Enquiries Team who are able to discuss the Boost packages with her on 01273 644644.

I hope this is helpful.
