But wasn’t the maintenance loan part means tested? They’ll need the full loans for tuition but we have to pay towards the maintenance loan

I’ve sent your TikTok on shared parental leave to everyone I know who’s been pregnant since I first saw it. It’s so helpful

She’s 10 this year 😱

And I’m so proud from afar at how they’ve turned out, Hosk 🫶🏻

No but it’s such a good Uni and what an experience for him. Good luck!

Eldest’s school (where I’m a trustee) has over half the kids going on to very well paid degree apprenticeships, mainly in engineering, as the financial impact is so different. But I don’t want the decision on next steps to be about money

Did you find it affecting where you were encouraging them to go? I want to keep all options on the table but the difference in living costs around the country are vast

I’ve told them that if child 1 takes a gap year, child 2 will have to too as can’t afford more than one there at once. I feel so stupid that I didn’t know about this

Oh I didn’t know this Dave. Child 1 is looking at this route, which I thought would end up much more expensive. Thanks

I was so naive. I thought student loans covered the lot. Only found this out last year. Just relieved I have 3yr+ gaps between the kids as couldn’t have more than one at Uni at once

I thought we had freedom after this but I just hadn’t clocked the means tested bursary bit of universities so if all three go we’re back to over £75k spread over ten years 😬

Is there time for Adolescence to qualify?

We watched it with all three kids last week and are still talking about it over dinner every night. It just sparked an hour’s discussion at the table tonight. Event television
