Uni in London?

Hey, so I (21) am entitled to the full student loan but I only have about £3000 in savings. I’m currently struggling to find more work to save more. My grades aren’t an issue. Would going to KCL or UCL be viable options for me?

What UK nation are you from or are getting loans from? SFE, SFW, SAAS or SFNI etc?

How much maintenance loan will you get exactly (rough or exact number)?

What type of accommodation are you looking at getting?

You need to know the answer to these questions then we can do some maths to see if you can realistically afford to live there or not (I’m leaning towards yes as you’re getting the max loan but still, we need to do the maths).
