The interview will focus on university fees and student debt, which are highly debated topics. The interviewee will be a university tutor who can provide knowledgeable and honest perspectives on these issues based on their experience. Some of the questions will address whether university fees provide good value, if student loans adequately cover living expenses like accommodation, steps universities take to help students manage their money, average student debt levels upon graduating, and what percentage of students pay off their debts.
