Closed End discrimination on student loans.

Closed on

A student cannot survive on £3610 a year, it is impossible.
Students should not have their student loan dictated by their parents income when they are adults living away from home. It should be possible to borrow as much as you need from Student Finance England and be independent from your parents and not have to potentially jeopardise your degree by working part time to support yourself. Not all parents who earn above £42000 have the spare thousands of pounds to support their children.
The government should allow all students to borrow a fair and equal amount from SFE and stop giving away free money to students from poorer households.
