DS1 is starting university in September.
The loan nowhere near even covers the cost of the student accommodation so we are going to need to help him out.
He will need to pay for all food, but no travel as this is included in his accommodation package. Otherwise only books, stationary, toiletries etc.
The idea is that he will pay for his social life from potential earnings.
We thought maybe £30 a week living expenses would be about right, but I really have no idea...
How much does everyone else pay there DC?
