Get yourself a decent graduate job and you'll earn more than that in your first year 
Some are lucky, a lot of people that I went to school with are back in their retail jobs though after coming out of uni!
I love not owing a penny to anyone now 
That might be because they didn't do a degree in something useful. If you're involved in science or engineering then you're a rare breed as those courses aren't as cool as business and other bollocks meaning that when you graduate you get a job. Nice

I am in my second year at Uni, and I get the loan and that covers my rent, but after that I get £300 a term grant, and that pays for food and books, but I have got 2 jobs and that pays for anything extra, going out, clothes etc. I also work full-time over summer and Easter, but I understand what you saying though because I know so many people who just spend all their loans in Superdry and buy other expensive shit then have no money. My mate gets £150 a week from his parents but still complains he has no money. My other friend gets a full loan, full grant and scholarship and bursary and money from parents, gets around £4.5-5k a year after rent and she managed to spend it all.

I graduated this year, I saved 1k up over the last semester which im living off now while I try to get a job. Its more dignified than sponging off the government which I could be doing. My loan paid my expenses whilst I worked just to run a car and do track days which I still struggle to do. Even on 20 hours a week work.
