Seriously considering dropping out because I can't afford my travel (advice needed)
I'm finding it really hard to finance placement. I live at home in another city and for personal reason I'm not able to move closer, so I commute. My last placement was 5 days a week and a weird start time, so I was spending money on train tickets and Ubers just to get there on time, which has quickly mounted my costs to £350 just for that placement. I was told that I can't claim back travel costs on the uber's and for the two weekly tickets of £128 I'm only being given £20 back? This is not sustainable. To make matters worse I've just lost my job, which was helping to finance my travel and bills back home. I've been looking for work but can't find anything. I'm just feeling really lost right now. My dream has always been to be a nurse and I've worked so hard to get the grades to get into university, I'm just not able to afford my placements anymore and I don't know what to do. My family are so supportive and happy for me, I'm just broke and my university aren't really being all that helpful. If anyone has been or is in a similar situation, can you give me some advice on how to fix this?
