be warned i am going to have a slight rant here......

Ive just found out that i am going to get no bursary!!

i have not lived with my parents for the last 4yrs and i have supported myself during this time but because for 3 yrs of this i was doing a degree i can not be classed as an independent.... whose idea is this i worked hard in bars to support my self in my first degree but casual work during full time education is not acceptable!

so i cant not be classed as a independent and if i am a dependent i have to declare my parents earnings.. firstly they are not supporting me financially through this and secondly if i put this on the form i will still receive nothing as they earn too much.

i know that it is not just me that is having this problem, i now have to get a part time job to support my self and while this is not too bad at the moment i wont be able to do this through out the whole 3yrs!
i have applied for student loan and over draft but that will only get me so far.

has any one else worked a part time job during there course? were u able to fit it all in??

any way rant over
