The online portal only shows the 3 payments he has already had
Do you get any more to see you through until Sept ? :eek:

The April payment is for over the summer. Hence why it's more.

For final years, this doesn't apply.

OMG I think he may have mis calculated then :-(

Thank you for that

University is meant to be a learning experience!

( Did he not add the sums he's received together and realise that they totally his funding offer?)

Most students work the summer holidays - bit of cash for going out and the rest to try and get their bank account in the black for September.

I put the majority of my summer loan (along with money I had recieved from the tax man as they had finally got told I was a student) in an ISA, along with half of House of fraser in my wardrobe. Set me up nicely though for 3 years (more money in savings, no need for clothes etc). From experience though, and from my friends now that had receieved there spring/summer loan, they just use it all for a booze up and a 'summers freshers weeks' after the exams.

But as "Oldernotwiser" (love the name) said, university is a learning experience.

I have been told of how much i am going to get and when and i have divided the total over 52 weeks so i am covered over the holidays too, yes i will not have as much in term time but it is enough.

mine works out as £50 more for the summer!!!
that wouldn't cover my rent let alone anything... I just hope I can find work - I've applied to over 50 jobs so far and only one interview for freelance work (today) so fingers crossed.
I've worked for 24 years so I have tons of experience in skilled work so you'd think I'd be able to find something... and a fast typist so even that would do but work does seem harder to find than normal! and my part time freelance job has gone because the company folded :-(

(ps: I'm a mature student and no family besides my brother)
