Similar with my two, although we added an allowance for food and clothing. Eldest looked at the figures and complained "it wasn't enough to go out clubbing every night".
They both left with student loan debt, which they regretted as they admitted they didn't need.
They both realised how lucky they were when working and talking to other graduates who had no family support resulting in massive debts.
