I am a woman in my early 20s, an international student, in the first year of a five-year medical degree.
I’m completely financially dependent on my parents. I can’t apply for student loans, and the savings I had from my previous job are nowhere near enough to cover tuition fees and costs of living. My degree is so intensive (especially for me, as I am neurodivergent) I hardly find time to sleep and exercise properly, let alone pursue a part-time job.
