Higher Education - UCAS

Year 13 students are encouraged to research all aspects of Post-18 opportunities.  Should they go to University?  Why?  Where?  Should they have a Gap year?  Travel?  Look for sponsorship or a job?  How expensive is it for them - and yourselves?  What are student loans and fees?  What grants and bursaries are available? What about accommodation away from home for the first time?
