Obvious suggestion - parents?
Can you not talk with someone at uni, financial services or such like? They may be able to give you a loan for living expenses which you pay back as and when your student finance actually comes through. At least they did at my uni anyway, when a few of my friends didn't get theirs on time 2 years ago.
Are you in Norwich or London for Uni. I went to UEA so might be able to help if you are there.
No fair he got the sensible advice in first!
My uni had an emergency loan system where you could get a few hundred quid in to cover you for what ever good reason (had the same problem). In theory I didn't have to pay it back till I graduated too but I payed the week my loan turned up to make me feel cool....
Some sort of student advice service in the uni/union should point you in the right direction![]()
You don't have to pay it back till you graduate? Man I could have done with this before... Cheers a lot mate![]()
Yep uni's are usually really keep to keep its students alivebut yeah graduate or till the end of the academic year (up to the uni) either way ages to get your loan and get an interest free overdraft sorted.
If it gets too bad for words ill come save you! (at uni at Birkbeck week day evenings)![]()
Go round the back of a supermarket/coop, they chuck stuff away that is perfectly fine if you're that hungry.
