Are those figures per term or per year? I remember paying about £700 a 
term rent to college (which included heating bills, but didn't include 
any food.)

Well, it's been 15 years since I graduated, so my perspective has, of 
course, changed, and my kids are only 3 and 5, so I have all this to 
come, but :-)

In my day (grandad) there were two types of students:

- Those with rich parents
- Those of us who worked every holiday

I did data entry at a library for £145 a week in the holidays. 
Fortunately, it was about 5 minutes walk from where my dad worked, so I 
got a lift to work :-)

And for the record, my first ever job was Saturdays at McDonalds - I 
could cope with the uniform, but when I had to dress up as a pirate my 
nerve finally broke and I decided that I _really_ wanted to go to 
University :-)
