OcUK Students?

First year student and I get all the loans/grants I can, because I can. Atm looks like I will come out of uni with £18k debt :/
I'd love to be able to get a job and reduce the amount of loans I have but living in Canterbury that's no easy feat

Since im not living at home housing is £3k/year and tuition fees are the same

Don't do too badly with money, if i was a wise spender I could have a lot left over.
I also don't buy much from OcUK bc I swapped my desktop for a laptop and bought an xbox.

I never knew OcUK was infamous because of it's student population, are most people on here students?

Apparently.

I don't buy any hardcore because I'm a student (got rapidshare for that

) but if I get money I will buy a decent build on here.

i spend more on alcohol than you spend on hardware per year

but thats way too much to spend on hardware i must say

Im a student and I used to buy from here, not so much anymore though (I think most of it goes into the pockets of the directors tbh... lol

)

I'm a student and I buy all my PC stuff from OcUK because of the service and free delivery.

I bought a new PC before uni for around £800 and it's been slowly upgraded over the last few years and now I have 2 pcs! Prolly spent another £800 on it since, though I've funded it as I work in the holidays, and the fact I spend little to nothing on booze unlike many of my counterparts, so still have a fair bit in my pocket at the end of each week!

This should have been a poll - Student:Not a Student - if you wanted to easily identify the ratio.

I work full time and have too many commitments to be constantly upgrading my PC. Last upgrade was 2 years ago, spent £500 on my current CPU, RAM, Mobo & Gfx and that was from a 5 year old system. I have a feeling it will stay that way for a while yet. When I was younger with less responsibilities I upgraded more often.

Had the OP been a student, he would probably have had the foresight to conduct an empirical study using a poll. No, I am not a student. I built a new system less than a year ago so not on the upgrade path just yet.
