Financial Pressure puts Students studies in danger

A report by Professor Graham Gibbs, a reknowed reasercher from Oxford University, has highlighted the problems facing students who take on part time work, suggesting its "negative effects" include expressing dissastisfaction with their course, and a serious lack of time to study.

Rob Veale, a former student at the University of Worcester, now working there, comments " I worked for two years throughout my degree, and got a 2.2 which is pretty pants! I had no choice but to work though, I didnt have enough money otherwise." Nicky Warren, a third year student at the University of Worcester echoes this view, saying " I have to work, its so expensive to get through a degree, I'm in my final year now and working has cut down on the time I can spend on my dissertation."

So these students claim they had no choice but to work, and when the average government loan barely covers the cost of accomodation, and with tuition fees at £3070, no wonder the mounting debt is causing UK students to seriously prioritise money over studying.
