    Its £73 a week rent. £320 x 12 months / 52 weeks is £73.

    I'm doing 2 Ou courses and working and don't get any help. Earn too much for income support and not enough hours for WTC, we get by though.
    Can't be bothered claiming HB AND CTB as they need too much info which i haven't got as only been self employed since end of June.

    I'd look at moving, £320 each for a houseshare of 4 for rent is extremely high.

    Agree with the others though in that moving in was a bad idea if you cant afford the rent. If you are studying online presumably the hours you do are down to yourself, therefore no reason to not work full time during the week and study at night and weekends.

    I agree with trying to work more hours if the course is online and therefore can be done in the evenings and weekends.

    However I think the rent thing depends where you live. I know people sharing with 2 or 3 other people and paying more like £500 each.
