CDL is not enough

Hello everyone

I am starting my Masters in London in September, and looking at my costings, the £10G max loan offered by CDL banks do not seem to cover the entirety of the course and my needs.:eek: i costed at 12 months whereas the course is 18 months, and budgeted living costs that came short of £10G, excluding personal needs and even the course fees. I won't have assistance from anyone, and dont want to work but I need to keep my costs down. Can anybody help me? I would be grateful.

Thanks

    I think the only other alternative would be to supplement your costs with a graduate loan or part time work.

    I lived in London as a student for less then 10G so that might be the first option...

    Secondly London is the most expensive place to live and study in the UK, why not try a cheaper Uni / Location

  • Why not defer for 12 months and use that time to work and save as much as you can?
    Be happy, it's the greatest wealth :)
