Annual costs of University

[mumblechum1]

Does anyone have a link to a budget for the costs of living in Uni for the first year?

I know they can borrow part of it (up to £3.5k in ds's case), but that won't cover even the accomodation much less anything else. So does anyone have any idea of what it costs for everything, ie books, transport, food, entertainment etc etc?

Thanks

Fee waivers are more about removing psychological barriers - can't face that amount of debt if it's 2 years wages for your parent - than actual ones.

I know in Oxford there is lots of discussion about fee waivers vs bursaries, and which are more effective. They announced yesterday that they're increasing both: www.ox.ac.uk/media/news_stories/2012/110712.html
