    She will receive free fees, that's it, other than that she's on her own.

    If she wants to apply for a grant they would assess it on her income and her mothers. She cannot be assessed as an independent mature student until she is 23.

    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.
