We’d like to hear from young people who have decided against university due to concerns about cost and future finances

We’re interested to hear from young Britons who have opted out of higher education because they feared student life would be unaffordable, or had concerns about their financial future if they attended university.

Whether financial concerns relating to tuition fees, student accommodation, student loan repayments or concerns about graduate job prospects have prompted you to do an apprenticeship instead, enter the workforce straight away or take a time out to consider your options, we’d like to hear from you.
