When I was a student in London I paid all my rent, bills and food with no difficulty with no more than my student loan
and the £2700 I had saved up. Over the three years I never once went overdrawn or used a credit card. I split the £2700 up to £300 a term and budgeted well. I had an internet connection, contract mobile and ate proper food. I was able to go out at least two nights a week, spent every other weekend in Bath with my then girlfriend and went to the cinema at least twice a week. I also had enough money to buy a new computer and a Fender Stratocaster. All you povvo food munchers were just piss poor at managing your money.

Students that want to have nice stuff, to be able to go out, eat properly and not get in debt probably.
I flew to belgium a few times on my student loan as well.

You don't say how much the student loan was.
