Hi I'm a single mum to one dd and I'm planning to go to university next year to do a nursing degree.. I'm just really worried about finances. Has anyone ever gone to university while claiming universal credit? I've read it's not very helpful when you're on universal credit as they count your loan/grant as income. I don't get much child maintenance either so finances are already tight. If anyone has done the same and could tell me if it's manageable it would be really helpful thanks!
