Screw you, moron.
So I basically get fraud EMA as my friend says.
...Oh well.

Not really. People I know already intended to stay on, and if the government are paying them £30 anyway, I doubt they're ones to complain.

Why the hell not? :0x

That's not entirely true:
"You can get an extra £100 in January and July and again in October if you come back for a second year. To get the bonuses, you will need to demonstrate real progress and commitment to your course by meeting specific goals agreed between you and your school or college.
Bonus payments are made in January and July in the first year of your course and in September, January and July the year after that."
I get 17 euro a week (about a tenner) to help me out in Uni.
There's 10, 20 and 30 quid.
Ah well, I can boast to her about my £120 a week salary. Yay.

Oh, like what happened with my mum?
She only spent 10 years in school and had to drop out, then worked her behind off to get herself a job paying good money, when my brother was born, she was a single parent, as she coped.
Or how about my dad, who didn't even go to school.
he was brought up on a farm and went off to train to become and engineer and worked his way up to become the head engineer of McCormick Europe (or something like that).
My mum's job doesn't pay as much now, but that's becasue she only works part time as she looks after the family.
So even if you do have problems, they do end, and you can go on and get something good after that.
Unless you're lazy.
