How do I fund medical school?
Soon I'll be finishing a science degree (BSc) and if I get a 1st I'm planning on applying to medical school.
If this happens (touch wood!) how would I go about funding my tuition fees and general living expenses? At the moment I have a loan. But when I enter medical school I'll be 22.
Anyone done the same? How did you fund yourself in medical school?
Why dont you contact the medical school you wish to enter? They will have access to any bursay scheme or grants etc available there may also be other funds through scolarships etc but only they have that info im afraid.
I recently finished Uni and for a year I shared a flat with 4 medical students. £ were payed for by daddies cash but one was working his way through it. Its hard!!
You can get cheap accommodation by becoming a student warden in uni digs, but you will still need a job too. I have seen it done, so it is possible but he had no life (still hasnt) and wont for 5 years! But if this is what you want, and you must really want it, you can do it.
Good luck, youre a better man than me for trying

You could take out a student loan and work in a part-time job during the first 2 years (the years where you don't work in a hospital). Once you start clinical work I don't think there's enough time to have a job as well.
