student finance...!!

So I have come to the conclusion that student finance direct is most possibly the most ridiculous excuse for a company ever. Hardly any one at my university has even been told they are actually getting a loan and for the lucky few who have received their loans they didn't get them on time.

I have been on the phone to student finance more than I can even remember and the only response they ever seem to give is 'i'm sorry there is nothing I can do about it' which is absolutely ridiculous because I know if they really wanted to they could do something about it.

At one point I received a letter telling me I was getting my loans then a few days later I received another one saying I wasn't. When I rung them AGAIN to ask what was going on they told me that they didn't send me one of the letters which they quite clearly did as I was holding it in my hand! I have never known anything to be quite so disorganised as student finance and it wouldn't surprise me if I didn't end up receiving any loans at all.

University Blues

After less than 3 weeks at University for the Creative Arts I decided I wanted to give up. I was persuaded to stay for the weekend to see how I felt and luckily I did because I changed my mind and decided to stay. A lot of people told me that I should stay for longer and then see how I felt but my mind was completely convinced that the best thing for me to do was leave. However after staying for the weekend I became friends with a great group of girls and I realise now I was being too hasty.

I would like to advise anyone who has just started university and feels like they want to give up to stick at it even if it just for another few weeks because like me you may change your mind.
