HI and welcome,Yes it's perfectly normal for a MR to take about 10 weeks, sometimes longer.You say you don't have any money at the moment. Are you not receiving a student loan? Lots of students have the loan, otherwise they wouldn't be able to survive being a student.0

Yeah I receive a student loan 3 times a year but I’m an art student so it usually goes towards bills and equipment0

Hi @georgiamaeslash, here is some information that might help if you are struggling with money while at university:
Extra funding
Check the student finance calculator on GOV.UK to see what extra help you might be able to get.
Grants
You may be able to claim grants from charitable trusts to help with extra disability-related costs.
Bursaries and awards
Bursaries and awards are like grants and you do not have to pay them back. Talk to your student support service to find out if you can get financial support.
If you’re a postgraduate and you want to teach in a school, you can apply for bursaries and scholarships to fund your teacher training.
Find out how much you could get at Get into teaching (GOV.UK).
Scholarships
Some universities and trusts offer scholarships for disabled students.
These scholarships are based on merit and do not take into account any other funding.
Contact your university to see if they offer scholarships.
If you’re a studying a master’s degree, you may be able to get a scholarship from Snowdon Trust.
University and college hardship funds
You could get extra money from your university or college if you’re experiencing financial hardship.
For example, if you’re:
- disabled
- a mature student with existing financial commitments
- a student that was previously in care (a ‘care leaver’)
Many providers have set up new funds designed to provide grants for financial difficulties arising from issues relating to coronavirus. The funds help with the purchase of laptops and wi-fi dongles so students can access remote teaching and learning. Contact the student services department at your university or college. They’ll decide if you qualify.
