Hi there,
Please can you tell me whether Rose Bruford College gets the London rate for maintenance loans? There's no clear info anywhere I can find about what counts as London.
Thanks

Thank you. Based on that postcode it's unlikely to be the London rate of the Maintenance loan. Thanks, Jason

Are you not able to give a definitive answer? It would really help to know as the self-catering halls of residence are £275pw / £11,000pa and may simply be out of any realms of feasibility if not the London rate. My son will need to make a decision, and 'unlikely' isn't hugely helpful as a basis. I have searched and searched and there seems to be no information anywhere about what the geographical boundary is for the London rate, which seems crazy.

Hi there,

So for the confusion. The location you have mentioned in the above message will not get the London Rate for the Maintenance Loan.

Thanks, Drew
