Maintenance Loan & Grants

[Nemesis379]

I was wondering what you guys spent your money on?, Also the following:

Do these 3 monthly installments last you a year or the whole time of Uni?

Only reply if you are living at home (because I am).

Put it in an ISA?

Say what.

Well since you're living at home, then I'm presuming you won't be paying high amounts in rent and no bills at all. Unlike if you were living in student accommodation in halls or private which is what your maintenance loan pays for. So if you've got the money from working etc to use for survival then you may as well chuck your maintenance loan into an ISA or other savings account for the whole time you're at uni. It's free money at the end of it when you slice off the interest you'll earn.

Well I pay no bills I am getting a fair bit of money, and was looking at getting a MAC then using the rest for books/food/travel etc.
