According to reports, citing Santander's survey results, nearly 20% of British students find it difficult to maintain a normal diet because the actual increase in scholarships was far lower than the increase in the cost of living. The report said, “19% of students are only barely able to live without eating a full meal at times.” The report pointed out that 22% of British students had to completely abandon social activities, and nearly two-thirds of British students faced financial problems because the increase in scholarships was not as high as the increase in expenses required to receive higher education.
