Older DD has rent to pay and no money !

My DD of 19 yrs is away at University and studying to be a Child Health Nurse. She is in debt with her rent, has paid 1000 already to recover the debt , but still has £700 to pay by 1st June. If she doesnt pay up then she will be served a notice to quit. She is really worried, and so am I: but i think she has brought it upon herself, spending too much on clothes, travel clubbing etc. I am a single parent with a9 yr ds at home still and not much money. My dad and i keep helping her out, but enuf is enuf. Dont know where to turn or what to do. I cant ask my dad to help out again. He has only just put £90 into her account last weekend coz her allowance from her own dad had not yet gone into , due to the Bank Hol.
Any advice is greatly appreciated, although i know you may say let her be thrown out and come home. Its hard to stomach this idea, and horrible to cope with. I will go Dotty if she comes home. (she is 20 yrs in Oct)
She cant appeal to her dad , who she has very little Bond with and is very stern and unapproacheable .
Please help . Thnks .

Would you really want her to be homeless? I mean, most parents can't stomach the idea.

Could she get some kind of emergency loan thru the Uni?

Tell her to contact her Uni for a hardship loan - I was in a similar position as a student and they were able to help

TBH if she's been wasting her money on luxuries then I don't blame you for not wanting to help her out.

Can she move home and transfer her course to a university close by?
