MBL: Coronavirus: Should I go to university this year?
Online lectures, socialising at a distance yet still paying full tuition fees. Will I get value for money if I go to university this year, under Covid-19 conditions?
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鈥檇 hoped for or dreamed of? How valuable is a degree for your future earnings? Is it better to do an apprenticeship, to earn as you learn? Or ditch higher education altogether and dive into the uncertain jobs market?
We'll be taking questions and hearing the dilemmas of school leavers across the across the UK as they decide what to do next.
