Also, what they don't take into account is how many brothers/sisters you have. I have 2 brothers. Maybe my parents could afford to pay for me, but a) I'm not going to take any money off them because it's not mine, and b) if they have to pay for me they have to pay for my brothers too. That's why I want a job. I want to pay at least some rent and for my own food.
So in the end I'm not entitled to anything... and I don't get money off my parents either. I'm not poor enough to receive benefits and they aren't rich enough to pay for me... Looks like I get the bad end of the stick financially.
Though of course that is not to say I don't appreciate my home life at all.

Aye, I truly understand you there. I wasn't having a go at you or anything like that.
It's the flaw in the system sadly. But again, the loan is your best bet.
Just to clarify though, we are all in lots of shit these days.
Here's my predicament. I'm going to join a Film School, and my course costs 17,5k per year, and it's a two year course. To add onto that, the camera itself I need, costs around 2k, and the programme (Downloadable, but no guarantee) that I need for editing, is around 600 pounds.
My parents, together, earn less than 15k a year. So you're not the only one in a tight squeeze ![Smile](http://www.japanforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
