you are entitled to child benefit. you are entitled to claim throughout all your uni holidays. you university itself won't financially help out, unless you do the same as everyone else who is short of money and apply to learning funds for help.
The booklet you get with the loan application tells you what to do with the government benefits, and asking the universities you are applying to will give you the best ideas on bursaries and such like.
There should be information in the prospectus and the documentation from the Student Loan Company on benefits, bursaries and other monies available to you.
