I would but as much as I have to study right now (so that I actually get admittance to my exams and as to not fuck my studies up completely) I have no time for that.
If I had I'd had a part time job already.

I know what it means to go without. I did it for almost 10 yrs. My food was almost all veggies. I had to buy them from the 2nd hand bin, and cut the rotten stuff out. Eventually it changed.
I have huge respect for anyone who can go without!
Aslo i loved reading, Went to 2nd hand book stores.

Mate, I can understand how you feel. Even though I never suffered scarcity in my studentship era I know how much being without enough money sucks. After my father died when I was 7, me and my mum lived by on our own for 4 years. It was tough, since with only one government officer salary it was hard to raise a kid in Turkey in mid 90's.
@PistolShrimp, you are one strong woman.

Dont worry. As soon as your done school, you will be making as much or more as your friends who didn't go to school and are making money now. I was so broke when in university and all my working friends had (What seemed like) a lot of disposable money. Now 6 years later im the one with the nicest car, paid off my house, looking at vacation properties while my working friends who didn't go to school are still living pay day to pay day.
Its a right of passage to live off student loans. Whats nice here in Canada, once you graduate, a lot of your loan in paid for by the gov.

be a bum for 5 years, get a degree and earn shitloads. 
I am not really rich, but the money I make as a starter is way more than someone without a degree. I am currently living on my own and can do whatever I want, eat whatever I want, be a little splurgie with buying things for some friends of mine on cafe and still have money left at the end of the month.
Yeah, when I was studying I had 50 euros /week for books/food/drinking/transportation/whatever. It makes you smart with money. Cut down on the big shit, enjoy yourself with small things.
I still have a stupid car, I still have a 'normal tv' (bigger than a 42 inch plasma, and only 299 euro), but I have steaks and champagne when I want it. No credit card debt, no car debt, and a good filled pension plan/stock portfolio. And no, I did not get it from daddy or mommy
Daddy paid for my dormitory and the 50/week when i was in university, but in the summer months I had to be his free working slave... Doing painting, garden shit, chopping wood, building sheds etc.
The key, keep your life simple, dont get any debt, and learn to enjoy small things. I know people who were drinking champagne and bottles of wodka when they were studying. And they graduate with a 3000 euro debt @ the cafe. Well, that is plain retarded. Of course I enjoyed it when people offered it me, and then I thought, "Well thx a lot, but you are a stupid motherfucker" and I gave them a beer back.

Something similar here in Germany. It doesn't matter how much many I get in student loans, after I'm done I have to repay a maximum of about 10k€ (which still is a shitload of money that makes me really sick to think about :/) but at least I don't have to repay all of my loans which would be way more than that.

I know it really matters where you live in Germany... Living in the east is much cheaper than in the west, and Hamburg and Munich are the most expensive cities.

Student loans in the UK are pure win when it comes to paying them back. You only pay when/if you're earning above a certain income and then only a small percentage is taken from your wages. If you don't earn, you don't pay.

wait., what? I have shitpiles of student loans from the government and all I get are higher interest rates and minimal tax credits (no federal tax on the interest portion of my payments) :/ |
Maybe BA don't count. LMAO jk.. But seriously, they paid %40 of my loan for me. I forget the exact name they use. Some of my other friends that had lower incomes had even better percentages. And i didn't even apply for it, just got a letter after i graduated saying that my loans were adjusted by X amount. This was in 2004 when i graduated.

I lived off a student loan in Holland and I never had a problem buying anything. I had the advantage of having somewhat poor parents... so the government paid me more than most students
And I don't drink, smoke or do drugs.

Norway is actually best for lazy immigrants, you can easily get more money from the government than in an average job.
