It must be the start of the new academic year because all of a sudden I'm seeing lots of listings from "Uni students" - at Newcastle, Manchester, etc - looking to meet "older professional men". I wonder if they're trying to supplement their grants / loans? - or is it just that laddish fellow male fellow students are a bit of a bore?

Mix of both, the current student loan and maintenance grant system is shit.

A lot of undergrads I chat to complain, rightly so, cause they have working class parents who worked hard to get better incomes, saved hard to put some money aside to help their child through whatever endeavour, and yet they find they get the same or nearly the same amount as someone whose parents have come from a background with money, or were born in an areas with proportionally high, well paid jobs.

In short if they are looking for 'assistance with their financial situation' I feel bad for them, not a good place to be in unless they like the idea of a sugar daddy or whatever.

If they just happen to like older men, or are fed up with the nobbish lad types the fair enough, whatever.When I was an undergrad I had a preference for international students cause a good time to them usually didn't mean getting wankered, or when I got the chance I prefered the company of older women or mature female students just cause they were a bit more sophisticated and once again, going for a drink mean a drink. Not getting pissed 7pm to 5am.

I fully agree about the loans thing - back in my day (he says, stroking his long grey beard) we got grants, and although I didn't get a full grant I managed to get to the end of my first degree course in the black - Ok I'd had a couple of summer jobs but I didn't have to work at part-time jobs during term times like so many student do now. I was from a working class family, and although my parents didn't quite understand what going to Uni meant they were supportive. Now I think most working class parents would try to dissuade their kids from going because of the huge debts they're going to build up.

In terms of young female students preferring older men to laddish students - well yes, I can see that! I wonder if I could find a couple that would prefer me?

I work for student finance. Someone on a lower income does not get the same amount of loan as someone on a higher one...

"And I actually assess student applications so no that shit inside out "

To clarify I'm not on about low incomes I know people in that situation get a proportional maintenance loan and some grants where applicable - I'm on about people whose parents fall into the same bracket as another student's parents who are at the other end of the bracket. Therefore have more earning potential/savings to help their kids through.

My younger sister is in this situation. She gets £3500 I think, no more than £4000 anyway. Yet the earning after tax that my parents have is about £40,000 lower than that of her peers parents.

My sister's peer has been able to fall back on her mum and dad to get her a nice studio apartment, for her 2nd and 3rd year - whilst she uses her maintenance loan for food and fun. Apparently repeatedly maxing it out and asking mum and dad to bail her out. I witnessed this kind of situation frequently as well when doing my undergrad and masters.

Meanwhile myself and my sister had to go for the cheapest accommodation we could get and work whatever part time we could whilst studying to help with the groceries.

Long ass rant, and I don't know how to solve these issues, but there are flaws in the system when you come to the 3rd and 2nd highest maintenance loan brackets.

The system is terrible so I'm not surprised. The numbers of students supplementing their income with sex work is going up. Given the cost of going to uni these days many see it as an easy way out.

I imagine some however just want the more experienced gentlemen since the average 18 year old lad who has just moved away from mum doubtfully will be that good
