Episode description

Online lectures yet full tuition fees; socialising at a distance and virtual fresher's events - all because of the pandemic. So is it financially worthwhile going to uni this year, if you won't be getting the university experience you’d hoped for or dreamed of? How valuable is a degree for your future earnings?

We'll be taking questions and hearing the dilemmas of school leavers across the across the UK as they decide what to do next.
