Maintenance Loan for living costs. You may have to give details of your household income. The loan is paid directly into your bank account at the start of term. You have to pay the loan back. Full-time student.

If it's not to be spent on computers/cars and such then I'd think it's not to be spent on holidays either.

"Living costs" does not include holidays last time I checked. It seems hypocritical to accuse other people of wasting their Maintenance loan on buying things you think they don't need when you are taking out yours to go on holiday.

Yes, that is what they do with the loan. That was my response to AJ's critique.

So your response was a justification.

Yes, a justification of my personal expenditure. Something that I do not need to justify to a stranger on an online forum.

Well, it's always nice to learn the value of paying your own way and something everyone needs to learn at some point - or not.

I sincerely doubt all university students are paying their way.
