Is she living in halls and are meals provided? My daughter lives more or less on her loan which is about £1000 per annum. She is vegetarian which means less money on food, but she has become really good at budgetting her money.Remember the required text books, dependant on what she is studying are as much as £40 a kick,often 10 or 12 per term.Remember too to take into account transport, phone costs, and so on.Having just survived the first year, she was broke by the summer and had to work but that's no bad thing, it's making her look forward to the start of term.
