University can be extremely spenny – and while some students rely on their student loan or part-time work to get them by, a select group of students are getting most of their income from their parents and family.

Students at Edinburgh and Oxford get the most money from their parents, bagging £314 and £307 a month, respectively. Unsurprisingly, Durham students also have a steady pipeline running to their bank accounts, getting an average of £300. Cheers mum and dad x
