Students gambling their loans to afford cost of living, survey suggests – The Independent

Tens of thousands of students are using their loans to gamble in a bid to top up their funds,with many ending up in debt to the tune of 5,000 or more, a new report suggests.

Students are increasingly turning to gambling as the student support provided by the government has failed to keep up with the rising costs of living, the National Union of Students (NUS) says.
