So who else is worried that the current financial situation in the UK is going to make financing student life difficult? I certainly am.
I always knew that the financial implications would be tricky if I manage to secure a place. However, I have always told myself that I will deal with that hurdle once I meet it. Given the amount of doom and gloom that is being broadcast at the moment I am thinking that this was an unwise decision. A number of questions I have to ask myself are:
Will I be able to sell our house quickly enough when the time comes?
What will rising rental prices do to my budget?
Will I be able to secure enough funding from banks etc to cover living costs?
What will be the effect of rising living costs on projected budgets?
I am sure many of us are in the same boat and it is not a very pleasant boat to be in. In fact, I think this boat has a ruddy great hole in it!
Over-reaction? Maybe, but it is still an area that requires a lot of attention even for those of us lucky enough to be offered a place.
Comments welcome :)

I totally agree about the "ruddy great hole" in the ship, and it's a tough situation. That said though, with the time, effort and commitment that getting into med school entails, current climate notwithstanding, I think it'll be worth it. If this is a ship you want to be on, you should just climb aboard, even if it does go down in choppy waters!
