How much money to give student for his maintenance?

[Yamin151]

My daughter (in Plymouth) gets £150 a month from her Dad. Her Loan pays her accommodation but she also works in Plymouth - not loads of hours as she is a swimming teacher which is relatively well paid and then does loads of hours working at the same thing back home every holiday.

She had saved loads before she went to Uni 2 years ago and still has that cushion in her account. I pay very little for her in terms of extras - she seems to be able to cover it herself.

And when your daughter leaves university what a well adjusted and financially savvy woman she will be. Able to budget, manage her own finances and work hard without expecting the world, or bank of mum and dad, to fund her lifestyle. Good for her, you must be very proud.
