[Closed] University Students, finance, parents contribution - experiences please !

So miss iainc is going to Uni later this yr, either Edinburgh or Aberdeen. Being Scottish she will get fees paid :lol: and will be seeking max student loan. SHe will be staying in Halls for 1st yr, then maybe a flat. Me and her Mum are starting to try and work out what we should be giving her, cash wise, on a monthly basis She has had part time work while at school for last few yrs (her own desire) and currently does some hotel waitressing a few shifts a week, so is planning do continue with bar/hotel work to fund her social life. So what is the going rate for 'parental contribution' ? We think her student loan will pay her accomodation in full with perhaps a wee bit left over. We obviously want her to have as much as she can, within reason and without leaving us eating bread and water and her wee brothers missing out on stuff, but at the same time don't want her 'out of the norm' experiences from parents and students welcome !

peterfile - many thanks for that - she is reading this post too, so I'll suggest she drops you a mail, much appreciated

No worries, happy to help. I also mentor a few students each year from local universities and LPC/Diploma providers, so I know (from personal experience and through the people I mentor) most of the thoughts/queries that will probably be running around in her mind right now! 🙂
