    I'm going to Budapest college this September and I'm wondering whether or not I am eligible for a maintenance grant. I'm Irish and I've been working full time since September 2013.

    Are you going under Erasmus?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    ◦ It must be full-time, and take not less than 2 years to complete
