I have twin boys - one going to Birmingham Aston one going to Liverpool. Both boys will receive a maintenance grant of £8430 which we will part pay. My question is - do people "supplement" this amount somewhat and if so by roughly how much? I appreciate all Universities are different as are the students spend. In general does the £8k provide the bare minimum baked beans dinner every night and not much else? They both want to get a job in which case our "supplement" will stop but probably won't be able to do that initially (if at all as one of them is doing a tough degree)
