So, I know the maximum maintenance loan is £8700 for living away from home outside London - though obviously how far that amount goes depends on how much the rent is!
So what I was wondering was, how much is a reasonable amount for a student to live on after rent, outside London, during term time, if they're self-catered? How do most parents do their contribution if they make it up - do they make it up to the £8700 - or does it actually work out as more? And if you calculate on a weekly basis do you leave out holidays as food bills are then covered by dparents?
