do most students get grants galore?

(, Wed 26 Dec 2007, 20:43, archived)
not in my experience.
most people have to take out a loan, and pay it back afterwards. Grants are extremely hard to come by now.

I've seen a lot of them do it
Bursaries especially. You get a maintenance grant if you don't earn x amount. And a lot of students spend their money and get an Access To Learning Fund grant because booze has washed their cash away.

Oh shit, I clicked "Post this message" and realised I said 'generations' instead of 'gernalisations'.
Hoo, hum.... spoons and what-not.

what planet do you really come from ?

I doubt that
I went in the last year that you still got the means tested grant and when you didn't pay fees and got an enormous £90 a term or something. that's hardly grants galore and that was when the situation was much more generous.

You're really really full of shite.
I'm amazed that your housemate thought you were a cunt. No really.

no they do not..
The biggest grant anyone at my university gets is £200. And there are five of them.

*has seen the figures, can't remember why now*

Bollocks do we.
Infact the only person I know who gets a grant lied to the LEA because his parents split up and his mum earns nothing (ignoring the fact that his stepdad and dad both have shitloads of cash).

He sits on his arse and gets chucked out of uni for not going then makes up a dead relative or emotional problem to get let back in to keep up the above farce. I wouldn't mind so much but the cunt seems to have such a shit time doing so.
