i'm in EXACTLY the same boat - i'm the only person on my course to be turned down for the ALF.
i don't have any finacial suggestions, just wanted to say, keep at it, you'll get the help you need eventually.
(oh i do have one idea - does your uni offer fee remission? i earn JUST under the qualifying amount and only have to pay 50%)Boyfriend & I have saved £12K in two years, thanks to careful budgeting and keeping a record of what we spend. I've never paid myself this amount of money before - it feels great!0
