I am Elizabeth Dixon of 24 Allen St Murray bridge, 0414520025. I am a single parent and a third year internal psychology student. 

One of my concerns is the lack of support for country students. I get no extra travelling allowance yet it is costing me 20 dollars a day to travel to magill everyday. The sixty dollars that supplement that I recieve per fortnight does not even cover my expenses for getting to the campus let alone books.

As a country student I need to buy the text books because the library facilities are inadequate for country students. They are limited by the 1 day loans depending on there timetable and text books are generally 1 day loans.

Further to this there is a problem of overcrowded tutorials. Most tutorial want you to break into small groups to have discussions. this is near impossible in the overly large tutorials. This is a problem across the board.

There seems to be more and more cut backs wich is making our journey through university a lot harder than it needs to be.
