They can test for intolerances although for tap water is a very rare, extreme case. I’d be very surprised if you are diagnosed with this. The body is too apt at processing water in any form, even dirty, populated water. I thought university fees were about £11k a year - unless you are living in student accommodation and have to buy a lot of materials? All I needed was books luckily but I was working full-time and studying at night as I could only afford university once I had been working for a number of years. I thought you meant a Ferrari or Lambo!

They’re £9250 for me, unless they raised them yet again without me noticing. My first year was 9K and then they upped it by 250.
No, way too expensive and I’m within travelling distance. Not to mention accomodation is fairly horrid, I am willing to tolerate TFL for 4 years, that should really tell you something lol. Not to mention, they’d probably kick me out for breaking regulations and running my own engineering experiments in my room (something I’m free to do at home provided I don’t blow up or burn down the house). 
I’m good on that front. You know my stance on books. 
My parents explicitly told me that they don’t want me working a job during uni so that I’m not sacrificing on my studies. I’m really lucky and glad that I have what financial support they can offer me.
Funny story, the uni actually offered me two scholarships for acing college (a hollow victory, it was dead easy) that would have added up to about 20K, but they were cheap twats and said they’d only honour the larger one (it’s their policy). So my bachelors debt was about 60K after a ~12K scholarship.
A tuned Lotus would rip them to shreds at a fraction of the cost. But even then, if we had money I’d probably be driving a big Jag or something.

A scholarship means you owe even less then and £10k for 4 years is £40k so what’s the other £32k spent on - travel? Working doesn’t sacrifice studying, it enhances it because you only have a few hours to finish all your studying!
This is what I want to see you doing @the_termin8r

About 10K per maintenance loan per degree (i.e. one for my BEng and one for my MSc) and I can’t remember which loans the other 12K goes for. Besides, it doesn’t matter where the money went, it just matters that I’ve got a metric fuckton of debt over my head. Even if I’ve miscalculated by say 10K, 60K is still a massive lump of cash.
What do you think I do when I brush my teeth?
EDIT:
I think the other 12K went for loans that they give you because you’re poor…legit. They don’t say “here’s some money because you’re poor.” It’s more, “your household is below X income threshold, here’s some temporary cash so that we can have your testicles in a vice for the rest of your life.”

People with drawn-on brows freak me out. What was wrong with your real ones?

Then there’s my set of injuries:
- Set fire to myself
- Electrocuted myself
- Shoved a scalpel into my finger.
