Government takes pints from students
Warwick’s 2014/15 freshers will be 37 pints worse off than you lot.
This year’s Warwick freshers will be 37 pints better off than those starting in 2014/15.
Maintenance loans and grants for English students will rise by 1% for the 2014/15 uni intake, which is LESS the rate of inflation.
The UK’s inflation rate is 2.7%, meaning that the maximum student loan for the average student in 2014/15 will be £5,555 – just £55 more than this year’s intake will get.
In total, students will be £93.50 shortchanged. With the average pint at Warwick costing £2.50, this equates to:
• 37 pints
• 623 packets of Tesco Everyday Value Chicken Flavour Instant Noodles
• One of K.Middy’s LK Bennett nude shoes.
