Students are calling for more help as they feel "hit from all angles" during the cost of living crisis.
Several women at Bath Spa University have said government grants and loans do not go far enough.
They spoke as Bath MP Wera Hobhouse said students are being overlooked as costs rise.
A government spokesperson said it is supporting students by freezing tuition fees, while maintenance loans are being increased every year.
The spokesperson suggested struggling students should speak to their university to find out about other help they can access.
