How to parent a student

Article Abstract:

It is anticipated students graduating from UK universities will have built up debts of up to 13,000 pounds sterling, which could take them several years to repay. Strathclyde University, Scotland, are holding meetings for students and parents, on the probable costs which will be incurred during their time at university. Some children clearly underestimated the cost of food. Strathclyde staff also pointed out course books and materials can be expensive. They encouraged the parents to continue to make representations to the UK government concerning the high cost of university education.
