I have name changed for this, sorry!
My DS is 17 and very bright, wants to go to Uni next year, which I am thrilled about BUT
We also have 2 primary school age children, I work part time and husband full time, we bring in about £30K on paper including tax credits and we just about manage to have a reasonable lifestyle, nothing flash, not much in the way of holidays etc but ok.
I realise DS can get loans for tuition fees but I hjave no idea how we will afford to pay for accommodation, food, spending money, books etc. Its scaring me to death already and I feel I can't possibly be the only one...surely?
Does anyone have any ideas? There isn't the option of staying at home as there are no Unis anywhere near here.

How do you afford Uni if you are only just managing before?!
