My lovely parents have told us they want to help out our dcs (17 and 15) with uni costs. (Very fantastic because after dh was made redundant we are on an extremely low wage and I was dreading the costs). I have no idea if we are talking hundreds, thousands or more. I guess my elderly folks have no idea that uni now costs a good 30K in fees alone but they're talking to a 'person from the bank to sort things out' on Monday and want to know how best to help.
I've got a vague idea that I've heard that you shouldn't avoid the fee loans as it's a great rate but wondered if help towards living costs e.g. halls of residence would be a good thing to ask for?
Are there any clever finance people about who know and understand this stuff for some ideas?
