What's The Point?

Why go to university?

You need to weigh up what the benefits of having a degree and going to university will mean for you. It's not just about the qualification you will get at the end of your course which will help your job prospects and earning potential, but also what you can gain from the whole university experience - including meeting new people, transferable skills, independence, money management and sports and social activities.
