Students Struggling To Make Their Loans Go Far Enough

by Jack Peat
04/06/2020

By Lewis Oakley 

For many people across the UK, going to university is not only the first time living away from home but it is also the first time they are responsible for their own finances.

However, in the modern world, the main source of income for those at university is a student loan which doesn’t appear to be going far enough anymore. The study, by Endsleigh, revealed one in four freshers will spend their first loan instalment within a month of receiving it. Another six in ten said it was gone within a couple of months.

It appears that students are seeking other options to make ends meet and these methods may not be approved by their parents. Seven in ten blinkered parents say their children don’t have or use a credit card – when in fact 94 per cent of students admit to having one.

And more than one in four don’t believe their offspring make use of an overdraft, but just two per cent of students said this was the case.

As a result of the money troubles, parents are hit with an unexpected cost of £683.30 when a child goes to university as they have to help out with the cost of food, course books and travel. Around one in five parents even said the biggest negative effect of their children starting university on their life was on their own finances.

Sara Newell, Director of Student & Graduate Markets at Endsleigh, advises: “No young person who is preparing to start higher education this autumn should begin term without a basic conversation about money matters.

“We urge parents of young people soon off to university to ensure their child doesn’t fall in to the student money advice gap.
