of students turn to parents for cash in an emergencyThe National Student Money Survey, by website Save the Student, gathers the views of more than 3,000 people currently studying.
Students received £134 a month on average from their parents. However, the survey also found that one in three of the students asked felt that their parents did not give enough financial support, either because they were unable to or did not want to.As a result, nearly four in five worried about making ends meet, while 57% said they suffered poor mental health because of money worries - up 11% from the previous year.
Holly Skyrme, a human geography student at the University of Leeds, says that creating her own mini-business has helped not only her finances, but also eased the pressures felt by many at university. She says she can make hundreds of pounds a time selling unwanted items at car boot sales, or on internet auction sites, and she has a regular income from selling beauty and health products at parties.

Will you please stop with the side hustle nonsense. Are you attempting to be cool or just covering up the fact that people need second jobs?
Student gets job to help pay for things during uni Okay. This isn't news. Millions of students have been doing this as far back as who knows when
Could save a fortune not dying her hair.
Once apon a time kids had Saturday jobs whilst at school!Then Went to college with evening & summer jobs.What is so special about this Generation that they think it's such a hardship to support themselves?
Bet she doesn’t make a lot.
Absolutely ridiculous that she had to do this for her education. Education should be free at the point of use just like healthcare is in this country.Only the Labour Party & Jeremy Corbyn are offering to do this with a new NES (National Education Service) making it free for all.
Aka sells drugs.
GO TO STATE UNIVERSITY. IT IS CHEAPER
She could just get a part time job...
When the fuck did we as a nation decide to use 'side-hustle'? Was there a committee meeting I was unaware of?
Poor girl, she’s so stressed her hair has turned colour.
I supported myself entirely through Grade 12 and NAIT. It’s nice to have a side-hustle. I worked for NAITSA and NAIT and any job I could to get by. I didn’t have much self-esteem to be a server, so I worked in the kitchen. I was very poor. Alberta paid/pays women poorly.
These poor students have join the ranks of students in the US. Parents and student loans just don’t cover the costs of university studies. Here in the US the students are encumbered with astronomical student loan debt in exchange for a college degrees.
When did having a part time job become a “side hustle”? askingforafriend
Cut the number of students and pointless courses. There’ll be enough money to reduce costs or make the remaining courses free
