DD is currently Y11 - just done GCSE's - and we're just beginning to think a few steps ahead to Uni possibilities. We visited one Uni open day recently - for a course she liked the look of in Wildlife Biology at Uni of Salford. But sensibly says she'd like to see other places to compare, so we've just started to look really.
We also had a look at a typical student room and started to think about accommodation and generally the costs of going to Uni.
So I just wanted to ask any of you with DC at Uni how much financial (or other) support are you able to give your DC? How much do you feel is needed? Am feeling if we could afford it it would be good to be able to pay her accommodation costs for her? (as my DP's did for me back in the good old days) Do many of you do this for your DC?
I gather that a loan for living costs is also an option? And/or DC could work whilst at Uni? Do your DC do this?
Would be very helpful to know how much support you give your DC through Uni and/or to what extent they're able to be independent?
Thanks!
