we will pay his accommodation and his tuition fees will be paid, so this will just be for food and travel etc

What maintenance loan does he get?

If you describe his income - and then expenditure you will pay for, then that will give a better idea.

More than enough.
Unless he eats Caviar daily?

We pay accommodation and uni fees are covered. They get £50 per week and have summer jobs to cover the rest. Also in Scotland so have free bus pass which helps greatly.

That's loads. DS has £300ish, but it doesn't have to cover travel.

I would say yes it is, can get a part time or weekend bar job if they want more.
