    full time students don't pay council tax, so you will pay the same as you pay now.[/B]

    Your partner's student loans and grants will be used to assess any means tested benefits you receive such as CTB. However, you will receive a 25% discount if you are the only over 18s living in the property.

    It depends what your total income is and whether she's prepared to split the cost with you.
