This is lame but how much does uni cost? Roughly

'tis true.
rent for halls and food
rent, food and bills for the next 2 yrs after you move from halls
student loan
cash for clothes, nights out etc.
It adds up to about ooo over £10k, probably nearer £15k at least.
of course you'd get a smaller loan! living away from home with your parents would cost far less than moving out. it's means tested so they go on your circumstances/situation.
well the fees are going up next year to £3k something aren't they?
so you need to consider that, then your rent (which will vary depending on where you live/what type of accomodaton you choose), then bills, food, going out etc. it's do-able though.
This is exactly what I thought. Thanks for the info.
In other words, university costs an absolute fortune. Only go if you're absolutely certain you need to go to do what you want to do.
Though have to pay back the loan of course! If I do a 3 year course I'll be leaving with just over £7000 debt which is dead on methinks.
i'm in nearly £7k of debt and i'm half way through my 2nd year at uni. that includes overdrafts totalling £2100 and my student loan. i pay my fees and half my rent.
you might find you're exempt from paying fees if your dad has passed away but it depends how much your mum earns.
i'll be leaving with around double the debt i'm in now.
How old are you?
I'm 19 and dropped out of my a levels. My employment history is really sketchy. At the moment I don't think I'm upto uni but its not something I'd like to rule out.
i'm 21 in april. i should be in my 3rd year but i did 3 years at college so i could get into uni.
would you ever consider going back to doing beauty therapy? what is it you want to do career wise? the world is your oyster.
you can do degree in social work now. until you go to uni you could maybe try and put some volunteering in. this way you'll get to find if you enjoy it and it'll look good on your CV. but you'll also need to meet the necessary entry requirements and i think you need a C or above (GCSE) in maths/english/science.
