Adelaide receives the maximum student loan for maintenance in England of £10,200, in addition to taking out the annual student loan for tuition fees, which are currently £9,250 year. So her total student loans will amount to roughly £58,000 by the time she leaves university.

Even with the maximum loan, day-to-day life for Adelaide is a struggle - after her annual rent of £6,800, she has little left for food or anything else.

She records her spending in a small red notebook, tracking every penny. “The bus fare just went up by 50p. I’m in university four days a week so it’s over £50 a month just to get the bus.” Sometimes she wakes in the night full of worry.
