UK students and graduates: share your views on going to university

6 hours ago 15

According to the latest British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey, the proportion of people who believe a university degree is not worth the time and money has jumped from 14% in 2005 to 34% in 2025.

The survey found that younger graduates, with experience of the fee system, are more disillusioned than those who did not pay fees.

We would like to hear from graduates and current students about their views on going to university. As a graduate, do you feel your degree was worth it, financially or otherwise? Did you decide against going to university? If so, why? If you’re a student and are thinking about your options we’d like to hear from you too.
