help with stuent finance please!

in september i will be starting my application for university (to enter university in 2010). i know it seems a bit stupid that i dont know all of this, but it does confuse me!

i know i have tuition fees of �3225, and dont have to pay that back until i leave. however what other expenses will i incur?
for example, accomadation. do i have to pay th campus �80 (for example) a week, or is there some sort of loan i can get so that this is paid for and i simply incur a debt when i graduate (to be paid when i am earning an excess of �15000 a year). please, any help would be appreciated as i am worried i wont be able to afford university. i do not come from a well off background, and so fees paid up front would be a worry.
thanks in advance, PinkFlower :)

You can apply for a student loan to help with some expenses, but unless someone else is helping you with money you will probably need a part time job. Have a look at the Student Loans Company website.
Look on here. You will need to take out maintenance loans. Depending on your family's income you may also get a non-repayable maintenance grant. Bursaries may also be available from your university, usually for lower income families. If you a re lucky the maintenance loan may just cover your accommodation fees, so you'll also need another source of income to pay for food, books, entertainment and other living costs. You willl either need parental support or to get part time work.

Better you research 'graduate debts' and how they're paid off, before entering a debt quagmire.
