Yes
and Sort of.
Remember 50% of the yoof now attend university. Many of those parents aren't exactly endowed with uber-cash.
So in conclusion......
1) Is his name Raymond Luxury-Yacht (pronounced 'Throat-Warbler Mangrove) or something else unfeasibly posh? If so, you should pay for him, his mates and for enough cash to endow the university with a Raymond Luxury-Yacht bursary for at least 100 years.
2) Do you have some cash but don't want him to ponce off you? A balanced approach. 1 cah lump sum each term. If you spend it, your problem.
3) Are you skint? Debt-tastic.
