‘Follow your head and your heart’ I think students are in a very good position this year. First of all, there are fewer 18-year-olds than last year. International student numbers are also likely to be down, which leads to increased capacity. And now even prestigious universities have got used to the idea that they have to use clearing and the stigma has gone from it.
My advice get a trade. No debt just lovely cash from day 1 and your parents wont end up with a blue haired lunatic spouting on about race, feminism and white supremacy all day, blaming the world for there bad choice of degree while stacking shelves in Aldi with 40 grand of debt
