Confused! I thought any university student could take out a student loan to cover tuition fees AND living expenses, so long as it is paid back slowly once they start earning x amount. I have also often seen threads on here with people saying they will expect their children to fund themselves at university.

Someone mentioned today that this is only the case if parents earn under the minimum amount and that parents are expected to fund living expenses - is this true?

Oh great I hadn't realised DD1 would get less next year. We are currently stumping up for deposits for both DD's to secure their houses for next year -thank goodness DS is only in year 10.
