Hi all
I'm in my 20s and hoping to go back to school next year and redo my maths GSCE. I then want to go on to study a degree at uni in two years or so. I've had a look at a few places and a uni in London seems to be the best one and my first choice so far.
The plan is for my partner to get a transfer in his job (very easily done) and work full time whilst I study and live with me, But his job isn't exactly the best paying and I have literally no idea how we are going to survive on his income alone. I know we can get a maintenance loan, but it still seems nowhere near enough for us to be able to rent a decent 1 bed flat in London with good transport connections.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm happy to consider places on the outskirts to make it cheaper, I've looked at places like Reading which seem ok but it's just such a long commute to London if you don't live close to the train station.
Any suggestions are gratefully received. Thanks in advance :)
