lovely job.....
I'm gonna apply for a QUEST engineering student grant, and possibly try the navy for a bursary....but knowing my luck, these will both fall thru.
I'm just gonna go round and open as many bank accounts as possible i think! I wont necessarily use them right up, just so i've got money there if i need it!

I have funded all four years of my uni course by working- I do a lot of hours and am on a fairly decent wage for the job I do, so I guess this helps to some extent. The only drawback I have found is that I don't get loads of spare time, for example I work AFD most weekends.
No I didn't take out a bank loan and I paid all of my tuition fees myself- it's just a personal thing- I didn't want to come out of uni into "the real world" and have massive debts hanging over me.
I also am now (thanks to my Mum!) really great at budgeting ie:working out how much needs to spent per month on rent, petrol, bills etc etc...
