A first year student at York has been forced to leave university, after an online gambling addiction left him unable to afford to continue studying. Adam Colley, a member of Langwith college, left mid way through the second term of the year, after his debts related to online gambling spiraled out of control and he had lost his student loan to online gambling companies. This case only further highlights the lack of advice available to students concerning their financial affairs, but also brings into question exactly how students spend their loans.
