weekly/monthly/annual bus pass? you'll usually be able to get one that runs the length of the school term, so you're not paying for it when you don't need to.
How far away do you live from your college?
What provider do you mean? the SLC?
You're currently £18/m short, you're after a loan of less than £200, a student loan is not what you want. Manage your money better, or get a job. Oh, and take packed lunch.

I havn't had a job since I started college (Was working full time before it) but am currently trying to get as many jobs as possible!
Ive been surviving off small change given to me by parents and my dear old Gdads £20 pocket money
It's not hard, some of the retards on my course say "Oh I can't get a job, dont have the skills, my mum would lose benefits!"
I want to attack them, apart from the above, I get nothing for free!
Grrrrrr, kids these days!

Yeah, you could have graduated over 4 years ago, and still have your crummy £2k graduate overdraft, like me
I have put my foot down, that will be gone in 4 months, however I am using the method of putting £500 a side each month to give to someone, then paying a lump sum of £2000 in to my ex graduate account to clear the overdraft.
Although I had plenty of jobs when I was in college/uni, I regret getting out the loan/overdrafts

i'm baffled as to why you're expecting money for your travel costs to be honest?
The only thing I can expect that may be 'funded' is a dedicated college bus or something? But petrol?

We used to get a subsidised bus pass, yr 7 to end of 6th form, but still wasn't free.

Depends how far away you live I think? If we lived mroe than 5 miles away from school it was free, but any closer you'd have to pay?
I dunno
Soldato
think we had to pay something anyway, but it could be used on any bus at any time.

Get a job you bum!! I used to work at Morrisons for less than 2 quid an hour when I was at 6th form!

It was 15-16 years ago, started on £1.96 IIRC
You would have to work full time hours (40 hours) to make £78 a week, and thats before tax (if you were taxed)
Part time hours (20 hours) your looking at £39
Thats dedication

I did 12 hours (full day Saturday & 2 nights), was enough to take me out every weekend at the time!
