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?

My hair is horrendous

I need help, because I'm so close to cutting it all off. My hair texture is horrendous. The sides are a completely different texture that's really fine and keeps breaking, leaving me with really patchy, stringy hair. But the back is thick and straight??? Also my fringe which is still growing out is just two annoying ringlets that two years later refuses to grow any further out of pure spite. It's such a mess and I've generally never had a good hair day.

My hair is cut every two months by my friend who is a hairdresser. Never coloured it and I don't use heat styling tools or hairdryers. It was last trimmed in January.

I don't want to drastically lose all the length but it is truly horrendous looking, how much would you guys recommend I cut off?
