DD1 holds a conditional place to Durham for October and has had her maintenance loan confirmed at £5000.
Her accommodation is £7000 a year so DH and I assumed that the £5000 would cover her accommodation and then pay the extra £2000 needed, she would then live off a monthly allowance of £250 from her grandparents.
However DD feels the £250 a month is too little (accommodation is catered too) and wants to keep the maintenance loan for living (i.e. Clothes, going out) DD will probably get a job in the second year but would like to have a break from working in her first year (has worked every Saturday since the age of 14)
Would any of you mind telling us what you do regarding finance/are planning on doing so we can get a better idea?
Thanks
