If you're in a position to buy a house I have no sympathy, I don't get £1200 a month full stop  I'm talking about how the basics are now out of reach. No wonder so many sit on their arses taking benefit.
Wonder where your taxes go?

Its what being a student is about. You either start working straight away, have money, but usually wont earn outright as much as if you went to uni but gain experience. (What I done)
Or
Go to uni, live a young life of having nothing and no money at all. But then when you get your results, manage to get a job, then you will be earning loads.
Its the choice you make unfortunatly, but I bet in 5-10 years while im still on roughly the same wage, your earning a lot and living a nice life.
Many of the uni people I knew in your position had to run 2 jobs if they wanted to run their cars etc. Bar work/restaurant work in the evenings type thing.
Owning a house, well i have been working for 8 years FT and have a partner on a similar wage, but what I mean is, although im earning much more, im trying to say it doesn't change. Yeah i earn more, but i have absolutly nothing every month as I have bills and debts I need to pay. The money comes in, it goes out, im no better off other than owning a house.....
Welcome to life
It sucks.
