Loan for living costs

I have some questions about student loan. I am EU citizen,but I am full-time student in university and this is my first year of studying in Scotland. I want to know, is it possible to get a loan for living costs? What documents should I prepare? Could you please explain me it all in details

    It isn't possible, that I will pay for it after graduation? Or I must pay for it during my studies every month?

    your university has a department which will answer any questions you have and help you apply. A public forum is not the place you should be asking

    Definitely ask at your uni, maybe student services(or something similar) would help

    are you talking about student loans. you don't qualify check with your home country they may have some scheme in place. you should have sorted this well before coming to the uk. hope your course is going ok.
  • Speak to your student help people. They can offer a loan which may or may not have to be paid back.

    ThE OP is an EU resident so wouldn't need a student visa surely? And would have her fees paid in Scotland. It's still suprising she didn't think about the living expenses before now though.

    good point. Invalidates my previous post.
  • Your first port of call should definitely be student services or the students' union - they will advise you of your options. Go there before trying any other agency.
